2:45 PM Chandra Karthikeyan 0 Comments

Lapsi is somewhat similar to rava kesari in making. Taste is wonderful and it contains goodness of broken wheat.

Ingredients:

• Broken wheat/ dhalia - 1/2 cup
• Sugar  1/2 cup
• Water - 2 cups
• Cardamom powder - pinch (i used whole cardamom)
• Raisin - 10
• Cashew - 10
• Chopped almond - little for garnishing
• Ghee - 2 tbsp

Method:

• Add a tsp of ghee in a pan and slightly roast raisin and cashew, keep this aside.
• Heat ghee in the same pan, slightly roast broken wheat for 3 to 4 minutes. 
• Add water and let wheat cook nicely. This takes about 15 minutes, then add cardamom, sugar, raisin and cashew, cook in low flame for 5 minutes till the ghee separates.
• Garnish it with almonds and serve hot or cold. 
• If the lapsi becomes thick, add little milk and reheat for a minute before serving.
