Not tried the elaichi version yet but if its any where near as good as those pics u posted i will be
Something was niggling me when I mentioned doing the NIS for Friday's dinner, so I had to look back at CH's recipe thread only to discover that, not only had I made the Elaichi version in 2012, I also posted a photo! Ho hum, Auld Timer's kicking in again!

Anyway, Jamie's photos put me right in the mood, so it'll definitely be getting made tomorrow.
