How to Make Lapsi | Daliya | लाप्शी in the Instant Pot
Hello Foodies,
Sharing another one Indian dessert or sweet dish recipe - Lapsi. It is super easy, ready in minutes, no fancy preparation or baking required. Other names for lapsi are cracked wheat, Dalia, broken wheat which is a very very healthy grain and should often be included in your diet. Cracked wheat adds crunch to bread and muffins, and can be sprinkled on cereal for a flavor boost. Cracked wheat also creates a lighter texture in baked recipes. You can make a variety of sweet and savory dishes using this broken wheat. It is a quick 3 main ingredients dessert which is delicious as well as healthier as compared to other sweets because I haven't used any processed sugar to sweeten it, I have used jaggery to make it.
Lapsi is one of the best foods to have when you are watching your weight. As cracked wheat is low in calories and high in fiber, keeping you pretty full and satisfied for a long time. Hence aids weight control. A variety of dishes can be prepared using cracked wheat such as sweet and savory upma, pulao, kheer which are tasty as well as nutritious. Also when cooked with vegetables it not only tastes good but also provides the required nutrients to the body. Try Lapsi / Dalia today and let us know how you liked it.
