Lapsi

Lapsi

Lapsi is a coarsely ground wheat like semolina from India!
Lapsi dish is a very special sweet dish of Gujarat and Rajasthan. It is prepared with broken wheat also known as Dalia.(porridge) 
As I'am not a Rajasthani or Gujrati but this dish is very nearest to my heart,because my family loved this dish! 
As normally nobody likes to have Porridge in my life and i used to feed them forcefully but this Lapsi was just got finished within in 20 minutes :-)

 

Lapsi can be made in kadhai but i have made this in pressure cooker as it cooks faster in pressure cooker.The color of lapsi is normally brown or cream but i have added jaggery in it.As jaggery gives a beautiful color as well as yummy taste.You can add sugar also as per your choice!

For me this dish is a total healthy option that can be consumed in your breakfast or when you are badly craving for a Dessert.The sweetness of jaggery and the fragrance of Desi Ghee is just a bliss for me!
