Lapsi Kheer - A Healthy Dessert

A healthy option if you're craving for something sweet. I make mine without any ghee and sugar. And to be very honest, you will not miss it either!

Ingredients

• ½ cup daliya/cracked wheat (The coarse variety is what I always use)
• ⅓ cup jaggery
• 1 cup water to cook the daliya
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp cardamom powder 
• A few saffron strands
• Nuts for garnishing (optional)

Procedure

• Lightly toast cracked wheat in a pan for about 2-3 minutes

• Wash it well and pressure cook until soft using double the amount of water.

• Boil milk for about 8-10 minutes until it thickens slightly and keep aside.
• Add the jaggery, cardamom to the cooked wheat and mix well. The jaggery will melt in the heat

• Add this mixture to the milk and simmer for 5-7 minutes stirring continuously.
• Dry roast some nuts for garnishing
• Serve warm or chilled

* The kheer thickens as it cools because the wheat absorbs the milk. Adjust consistency while serving by adding more milk as needed.
