1 cup broken wheat (medium grain)
3 cups water
2 tbsp ghee (or more!)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup grated fresh coconut
1 tbsp cashews (optional)
1 tbsp raisins (optional)

Method
0. Fry cashews and raisins in the ghee. Drain and set aside.
1. Roast broken wheat adding ghee/clarified butter on a low flame, till it turns golden. Add coconut.
2. Boil water & sugar. Add it to the above mixture.
3. Keep stirring till porridge like consistency is formed.
4. Add cardamom powder and nutmeg powder. Keep stirring till ghee appears to leave lapsi.

Note -
1. There is a fine variety of broken wheat and medium variety. Use fine variety for making Kansaar. and medium grain for making Lapsi.
2. I did not use cashews and raisins. I used only almond slivers.

Happy new year in advance, Meera, enjoy! :))
That looks delicious! Nice recipe! Happy holidays!
Sounds good...nice recipe
There are some items that my mom makes and I eat. I dont make myself. Lapsi is one of them. I guess I should make it. I was thinking may be roasting the broken wheat in oven might save some time as well. I tried that recently for Upma as well as Sukhadi and it worked quite well.
Asha,
Thanks so much, dear! Hope you are doing great! Miss you!!

I know what you mean. I too have many such items that mom makes and I simply gobble! These days due to this blogging bug, I try to make a few of them myself. I have made upma using broken wheat but making gulpapdi - that's what we call Sukhadi - is such a great idea. Thanks for sharing!!:-D
I heard of this sweet, but never tried or eaten this. looks so mouth-watering.
