I got this recipe from someone fron India. You can play around with this recipe to make it to your likings. I don't like the cardamon so I skip that one. Before I add the spices i put them in saran wrap and pound them with a hammer just to release their flavor. Just a couple of smashes. I use skim milk so now I have adjusted the recipe to using 11/2 cup of milk and 1 cup of water.
