Lapsi, Fada ni Lapsi, Gujarati Broken Wheat Dessert Recipe

One of the most well-known of Gujarati desserts, Lapsi is a very appealing sweet dish of roasted and cooked broken wheat sweetened with sugar and flavoured pleasantly with cardamom powder. Roasting the broken wheat in ghee gives the Lapsi a rich brown colour, intense aroma and nice flavour. Although it is a traditional recipe, it has a timeless appeal and is much-loved by both adults and children. This is one of the sweets that is commonly made during festivals in Gujarati households. You can also try other such traditional sweets like the Coconut Sheera and Kaju Kopra Sheera.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes. Cooking Time: 35 minutes. Serves 4.

½ cup broken wheat (dalia)
½ cup sugar
½ tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder
3 tbsp ghee

For the garnish
A few almond and pistachio slivers

1. Heat the ghee in a non-stick kadhai, add the broken wheat, mix well and cook on a slow flame for 5 to 7 minutes or till it turns golden brown in colour, while stirring continuously.
2. Add 2 cups of warm water, mix well and cook on a high flame till the water starts boiling.
3. Cook on a slow flame for 15 to 17 minutes or till the broken wheat is almost done, while stirring continuously.
