Lowfat Indian Cuisine

By Kumar Ramanathan

Here's a traditional dessert to serve to family and friends.

Bring rice milk to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes until it becomes 3 cups. Sing 1/4 tablespoon of soy margarine, fry raisins until they become brown. Remove them from pan. Using the same pan, add 1/4 tablespoon soy margarine and fry vermicelli for 5 minutes until it becomes reddish brown. When the milk is reduced to 3 cups, add maple syrup and then add vermicelli. Boil until vermicelli becomes soft. Add cardamom. Serve hot or cold.

Hints:

1. Add 1/4 teaspoon chopped cashews (optional).

2. Add 1 teaspoon of non-dairy chocolate to get chocolate flavor (optional).
