Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon ghee or 1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon hot Madras curry powder
1/2 cup raisins
4 1/2 cups skim milk
3/4 cup farina, any variety
1 pinch fresh coriander (optional)
1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional)
1 pinch salt (optional)
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

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.).
