Lapsi Rawa Sheera

This recipe is a very famous gujarati recipe and is very tasty and healthy option of a morning breakfast or an evening snack. It has jaggery  in its making and so it is minus of all the calories of sugar..

Ingredients:
Lapsi Rawa (Broken Wheat/Cracked Wheat) - 2 cups
Ghee - 1 cup
Jaggery - 1 cup
Elaichi Powder (Cardamom powder) - 2tsp

Serves: 2

Procedure:
Soak the lapsi rawa in water for 15 minutes.
Heat the ghee in a kadhai.
Now drain the water and roast the lapsi rawa for 7-8 minutes until it gets a dark brownish colour.
This step is very important since the dish will not get a good flavour unless the lapsi rawa is nicely roasted.
Now add jaggery and roast again for 3-4 minutes.
Mix the elaichi powder and stir well.
Add 1 and 1/2 cup of water to it and let it cook for 2-3 minutes and switch off the gas. Let the dish stay as the lapsi rawa will soak all the extra water and swell.
If you find that the sheera is still not cooked well, then add some water again and cook for 2 minutes. Again let the dish stay for some time.
Serve.

Tip: You can also add milk to this dish and serve.
