Laapsi /Meetha Daliya is a very popular sweet dish from the state of Rajasthan.It is quick ,easy and delicious dish made with broken wheat,ghee and sugar or jaggary,This is also very popular in North Indian states specially in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh.

It is specially made during wedding or any big or small festive occasions and a winter special recipe.Though making laapsi is quite easy but often the cooked grains become little chewy if you directly add the sugar in the cooked daliya .

Add sugar in little water and boil till sugar dissolves and then adding it in the daliya makes it perfectly soft .You can add any nuts of your choice but almonds and raisins taste great ,addition of saffron also gives a wonderful flavour.

Notes

My Notes-
  1. Use thick grain/coarse daliya to make laapsi ,don’t use the fine variety otherwise it may become mushy.
  2. The amount of water and pressure cooking time also depends on the quality of wheat used so adjust accordingly.
  3. Traditionally a good amount of ghee is used in making laapsi but you can easily reduce the quantity of ghee if you want
  4. You can also use jaggary /gur instead of sugar.
  5. It will become dry after some times,so its fine to have some moisture after finishing it.
