About fada lapsi

Lapsi is a traditional sweet dish made from broken wheat (daliya) in Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is prepared during festivals, celebrations, and happy occasions. Since Lapsi is a sweet delicacy, it can be served as a dessert after meals. Lapsi and jaggery complement each other and are considered highly beneficial for health. However, it can also be tried with sugar, which enhances the taste but is slightly less effective from a health perspective.

Lapsi can be prepared in both a non-stick pan and a pressure cooker. Here, I have made it in a non-stick pan, resulting in a very tasty dish. Often, while making sweet dishes, we tend to make small mistakes in the process.

which can prevent the dish from turning out perfectly, wasting both our time and ingredients. However, if measured accurately and prepared properly, any sweet dish can yield excellent results. Here, I have provided precise measurements for all the ingredients along with photos. By following them, you can make fluffy and delicious Lapsi.

Lapsi traditionally includes jaggery, ghee, and dry fruits, which enhance its flavor and richness. You can add any type of dry fruits as per your preference, but don’t miss out on adding raisins, as their flavor is essential to the dish.

In the villages around Rajasthan, Lapsi is still the first dish prepared on any auspicious occasion. It is also offered to deities as a part of the ritual and later distributed as prasad.

In Rajasthan, Lapsi is often enjoyed with Kadhi, a yogurt-based curry. If certain tips are kept in mind while preparing it, an amazing Lapsi recipe can be created. Choosing the right type of broken wheat (daliya) is crucial. Here, we have used coarser broken wheat instead of the fine-grain variety.

Daliya is rich in fiber, making it highly beneficial for those suffering from constipation. It is also helpful in weight loss. Jaggery, in addition to aiding weight loss, helps control blood pressure, purifies the body internally, and addresses skin and other health issues.

Tips

Ingredients

Ghee – 100 grams

Black cardamom – 2

Green cardamom – 2

Broken wheat (Daliya) – 250 grams

Coconut – 30 grams, cut into long thin slices

Jaggery – 250 grams

Almonds – 25 grams

Raisins – 25 grams

Water – 3 times the amount of daliya

How to make lapsi

To prepare Lapsi, heat ghee in a non-stick pan. Lightly crush the green and black cardamoms and add them to the pan. Next, add the cleaned daliya (broken wheat) and roast it well until it turns a nice golden brown. Once the daliya begins to turn reddish, add the coconut slices and continue roasting.

Once the daliya is evenly roasted, add a small amount of water and cover the pan with a lid. When the water starts to dry up, remove the lid and add a bit more water. Repeat this process three times, adding water gradually.

While the daliya is cooking, heat ghee in a separate pan and fry the almonds and raisins until golden. Check the daliya by removing the lid. When a small amount of water remains, add jaggery pieces and mix well until it melts completely. Add the fried almonds and raisins and stir everything together. Cover the pan once again with the lid.

Finally, check the Lapsi once more. When the water has fully absorbed, and the ghee begins to separate, turn off the flame. Serve the hot Lapsi alongside Kadhi for a delicious meal.

Tips

If you are preparing Lapsi in a pressure cooker, add all the water at once. After 2 whistles, add the jaggery and continue with the rest of the cooking process without needing to put the lid back on. Cook the Lapsi on low heat with the lid slightly covered.

If you don’t prefer jaggery, you can substitute it with sugar.

The taste of Lapsi becomes even better when cooked in ghee.
