Happy Diwali Sara. Your Cream Of Wheat parsad looks absolutely delicious. I can only imagine the taste, with cardamom added.🤤 My mother used to make cream of wheat parsad. I’ve tried making parsad when I was a young adult… it was a disaster, never tried again. You make it look like a breeze to make. Keep up the good work. I love your lovely little chihuahua. God’s blessings to you.🙏🏽❤️
