Add yoghurt and milk and little beat till mix together then add oil and continue beating until well blended. In a separate bowl, combine and mix flour, cardamoms powder and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat until the batter is smooth.
    Divide the mixture into 3 equal portions. Keep one portion plain. Add cocoa powder into another
    And red color into another portion.
    Lightly grease the pan with oil. Scoop 2 heaped tablespoons of plain batter (you can also use a ladle that would hold 2 table spoons) into the middle of the baking pan. Then scoop 2 tablespoons of cocoa batter and pour it in the center on top of the plain batter. Then scoop 2 tablespoons of red color batter and pour it in the center on top of the cocoa batter. Do not stop and wait until the previous batter spreads. Keep going! Do not spread the batter or tilt pan to distribute the mixture. It will spread by itself and till the pan gradually.
