      Yield: 1 servings 
  
      4 tb Unsalted Butter 
      1 c  Vermicelli -- * see note 
      1 c  Sago 
  6 1/4 c  Hot Milk 
    1/4 ts Cardamom Seeds -- crushed 
           Finely 
      2 tb Golden Raisins 
      1 c  Sugar -- (or to taste) 
  
  * the best are the ones you get in oriental shops) broken into 2 inch 
  pieces. 
   
  Cook sago in water first until they loose the white color and look 
  transparent. Set aside. Melt butter in a heavy saucepan. Fry vermicelli 
  until pieces turn golden brown. This happens rapidly so watch out. Pour in 
  the hot milk and bring to a simmer. Adjust heat to keep milk simmering 
  vigorously without letting it boil over. Add cooked sago (with or without 
  the water), raisins, cardamom. 
   
  Let cook for about 20 minutes with frequent stirring. Add sugar and cook 
  another 5 minutes. Serve hot or chilled in refrigerator. One can replace 
  the vermicelli with sago but this kind of has a bland taste.
