Best East Indian Farina Hot Cereal Payasam Recipes
EAST INDIAN FARINA HOT CEREAL (PAYASAM)
Adapted from Laurel's Kitchen vegetarian cookbook-the first vegetarian cookbook I ever bought. The original recipes uses brown rice cereal, which is equally good! I've made this many, many times for breakfast. My payasam I prefer on the thick side, so feel free to add more milk or less cereal. Comforting and delicious on a cold winter day.

Steps:
- In a 3 quart saucepan, saute the onions and garlic in the ghee until they are a nice golden color. Medium heat works best.
- Add the raisins and curry powder and cook for a minute. Then add the milk and bring it to a boil. Whisk in the farina and cook it according to the package directions. (I use the "quick-cooking" variety, which takes 2 1/2 minutes.).
- Remove from heat and add cilantro, pistachios, salt and sugar, as desired. (I use the cilantro, salt and sugar.).
