Time 15m

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.).

I'm allergic to coconut milk, so I substituted almond milk instead. It turned out great! This is a really versatile recipe that can be easily adapted to different dietary restrictions.

I'm not a big fan of farina, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The spices really helped to elevate the flavor. I might make this again if I'm in the mood for something light and easy.

This was a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used pre-cooked chicken and it was still delicious. Definitely recommend!

I thought this dish was just okay. The spices were a little too overpowering for my taste. I might try it again with less spices next time.

Cooking this dish was a breeze! I had never tried farina before, but the Indian spices added so much flavor that I couldn't get enough. I'll definitely be making this again soon.
