Parsad image

I love Parsad. When I was a child, around Divali time I would look forward to neighbours sharing Parsad or my mum making her own. Parsad can be made from flour, cream of wheat or a mixture of both. I personally prefer the cream of wheat version and this is how I remember my mother making it when I was young.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup cream of wheat
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)
1 cup evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
1 tablespoon raisins (or more)
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, garnish

Steps:

  • Mix sugar and evaporated in a pan, bring to a boil and set aside.
  • Heat the ghee in a frying pan. Add the cream of wheat and cardamom powder and fry until it is very lightly golden brown in color. Constantly stir to ensure even browning.
  • Stir in raisins.
  • Add sugar/milk slowly (it should still be hot/warm and it may sputter).
  • Stir rapidly to prevent lump formation.
  • Cook over medium heat until the milk gets completely absorbed.
  • Serve immediately and garnish with almonds, walnuts or raisins if desired.
  • It will become firm as it cools. But it still tastes great. I like to eat it when cooled.
