Description:

Gujarati Style Lapsi is a delicious sweet pudding made from a blend of foxtail millet, yellow moong dal, jaggery, and cardamom. The dish is pressure-cooked to perfection, offering a unique combination of flavors and textures, making it a beloved traditional dessert in Gujarati cuisine.


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Foxtail Millet
  • 1/4 cup Yellow Moong Dal (Split)
  • 1 teaspoon Cardamom Powder (Elaichi)
  • 1/4 cup Jaggery
  • 1 tablespoon Ghee (for cooking)
  • 2 tablespoons Cashew Nuts, broken (for garnish)

Preparation Time:

5 minutes

Cooking Time:

30 minutes


Instructions:

  1. Roast the Moong Dal:
    Heat a pan on medium heat and roast the yellow moong dal until it releases a lightly roasted aroma. Be careful not to let it turn brown.

  2. Pressure Cook the Millet Mixture:
    In a pressure cooker, add the roasted moong dal, foxtail millet, jaggery, and cardamom powder. Add 2 cups of water. Secure the lid and cook on high heat until you hear one whistle. After the first whistle, reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 3-4 minutes.

  3. Release the Pressure:
    After 3-4 minutes, turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. Set aside.

  4. Roast the Cashew Nuts:
    In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee. Add the broken cashew nuts and roast until golden and crisp. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  5. Combine and Final Cooking:
    Add the roasted cashew nuts into the cooked millet and dal mixture. Stir well on medium heat for about 5 minutes, allowing the jaggery to blend smoothly with the millet and dal.

  6. Serve:
    Once the mixture is well combined and the flavors are blended, turn off the heat and transfer the Lapsi to a serving bowl. Serve as a dessert, paired with Steamed Rice, Gujarati Kadhi, Phulkas, and Fansi Nu Muthia Nu Shaak for a complete meal.


Enjoy this warm, comforting Gujarati treat as a sweet end to your meal!
