You can add crushed coriander, cumin, cardamom seeds, or anise to the milk when you put it on to boil.aneer is pretty bland on it's own, it's sort of a spongy cottage cheese. Marinate it in some indian curry spices, with some other spices, then make kabobs and grill them. That's how some of my Indian friends cooked it over the summer, and it was really tasty.
