Cream of Wheat Parsad
"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. "
