     1/4   c            Golden raisins -- seedless
   2 1/4   c            Nonfat milk
     1/4   c            Nonfat dry milk powder
     1/2   c            Sugar -- reduce if preferred

  In a saucepan, heat margarine and saute wheat and fennel seeds,
  stirring frequently, until the wheat is light golden brown; about
  10 to 15 minutes. Add raisins and cook until the raisins are
  swollen. Remove saucepan from heat.
  
  Carefully add nonfat milk, nonfat milk powder, sugar, saffron, and
  yellow food color. Stir well, and bring to boil.
  
  Reduce heat slightly, cover and cook until almost all the liquid
  has been absorbed.
  
  Add cardamom, nutmeg, and fold in. Cover and cook on a very low
  heat for 20 minutes or until the wheat is cooked but still moist.
  Add a little water if too dry.
  
  Garnish with almonds and serve.
  
  Can be used as a first course, as a cereal, or as dessert.
