Ingredients
 

  • 2 cup coarse wheat flour
  • 4 tbsp oil
  • 2 cup water
  • 4 tbsp ghee
  • 1 cup jaggery
  • ½ tsp cardamom powder

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups coarse wheat flour and 4 tbsp oil. Mix well until the oil evenly coats the flour. When pressed between your palms, the flour should hold together.
  • In a kadai, add 2 cups water and bring it to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, add the flour mixture and spread it evenly in the kadai.
  • Using the handle of a rolling pin, make a few holes in the flour mixture. Place a slightly damp cloth over the flour mixture.
  • Cover the kadai with a lid and place it on a tawa. Cook on low flame for 15–20 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and damp cloth. Mix the flour mixture well and cook until the wheat flour granules are completely cooked. Keep aside.
  • In the same kadai, add 4 tbsp ghee and 1 cup jaggery. Mix well and cook until the jaggery melts completely.
  • Add the cooked flour mixture and mix well. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring continuously, until the Lapsi becomes grainy and the granules separate nicely.
  • Switch off the flame and let the Lapsi cool slightly.
  • Danedar Lapsi is ready. Serve hot with a generous drizzle of ghee and powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Use coarse wheat flour to make Lapsi.
  • Adding oil to the flour coats the flour granules, which helps achieve the perfect texture of Lapsi.
  • The water-to-wheat flour ratio should be 1:1.
  • When the water starts boiling, add the wheat flour.
  • Place the kadai on a tawa to help cook the flour evenly.
  • Cook the wheat flour on low flame for 20 minutes.
  • The quantity of jaggery should be half the quantity of wheat flour.
  • Initially, the ghee and jaggery will be absorbed into the wheat flour, but after 5–7 minutes, the Lapsi will gradually become separate and grainy.
