Ingredients

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

    1. 1
      In a 3 quart saucepan, saute the onions and garlic in the ghee until they are a nice golden color. Medium heat works best.
    2. 2
      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.).
    3. 3
      Remove from heat and add cilantro, pistachios, salt and sugar, as desired. (I use the cilantro, salt and sugar.).
