Cardamom-Spiced Meat Loaf

Found on OPRAHS' website (adjusted!). I followed my intuition and put only 1/2 teas of cardamom - it was still overpowering!

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
2 carrots, finely grated
1 onion, finely chopped
1 zucchini, finely grated
2 cloves garlic,crushed
2 teaspoons ground cardamom (I ADDED 1/2 TSP)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper/paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 kg mince
2 eggs
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup (plus 2 tablespoons ketchup)
1/3 cup plain yogurt
2 teaspoons salt
Method:
In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, onion, and zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the cardamom, cumin, cinnamon, red pepper, and black pepper; cook 30 seconds. Set the vegetable mixture aside to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 180*C. In a large bowl, combine mince, eggs, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup ketchup, yogurt, salt, and cooked vegetable mixture just until well blended but not over-mixed.
Shape the meat-and-vegetable mixture into a 10" x 5" loaf on the prepared pan, pressing firmly, or make a log. Brush the remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup on top and sides of the meat loaf. Bake 1 hour. Let the meat loaf stand 10 minutes to set juices for easier carving. Served with zucchini/red cabage with cous-cous.
