Laapsi is a traditional sweet dish of Rajasthan as well as Gujarat prepared with broken wheat (Daliya), jaggery, ghee and nuts. It is often cooked on some special occasions or rituals (puja). The Laapsi is a delicious and sumptuous dish. It is quick, easy winter special recipe also. Though making laapsi is quite easy but often the cooked grains become little chewy if you directly add the jaggery and sugar syrup in the cooked daliya .
