Key Questions Answered
Rajasthan-style Lapsi is made using broken wheat, jaggery, ghee, and cardamom powder, along with dry fruits like cashews, raisins, and almond pieces for garnish.
First, roast the broken wheat in ghee for 4 to 5 minutes until fragrant, then gradually add hot water and cook it on low flame for 15 to 25 minutes until the wheat becomes very soft.
