My boyfriend and I loved this so much he requested a repeat just 2 weeks later (very unusual for him. I did substitute greek yogurt for cream and a mix of nutmeg and cinnamon for the cardamon as I didn't have either.

Excellent recipe, made a slightly healthier version using non fat plain greek yogurt instead of cream and omitted the cardamom. This was great!!

This was delicious! We added some grilled chicken and made it into a meal. Only made 2 small substitutions: cardamom for 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and cream for 2 tablespoons of greek yogurt. Really great healthy dinner.
