Thanks, Cheezz. Looks delish! I'll try it this weekend. I'm eager to make a T&T.
One of the recipes I tried from an Indian cookbook I have called for 1/2 gallon of milk. I had to cook it forever, and it was so not worth it.
I'm glad you mentioned to use basmati rice. I've been trying out different kinds of rice, but hadn't hit on the right one yet. Thanks for the offer to send cardamon pods, but I have an Indian store close to where I work and can get some there. Also, (I'm so lucky) we have a Central Market close by, and you can find just about everything there.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
