Broken Wheat Halwa /Godhuma Rawa Halwa


Lapsi or dalia or burglar wheat or broken wheat or cracked wheat or godhuma rava is nutritious as it is unrefined wheat,high in fibre and manganese.It tastes great, easy to make and is delicious.


Ingredients:

Cracked wheat /Broken wheat/ Lapsi - 1 cup

Water - 1 cup

Lowfat milk / whole milk- 2 cups

Sugar - 1 cup

Ghee (clarified butter) - 2 tbsp

Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp

Nutmeg powder - 1/2 tsp

Sliced almonds/Cashew /Raisins for garnishing

Method:

Heat a heavy bottomed pan and add 1/2 tbsp ghee. When ghee melts, add the cracked wheat and roast until the content heats up and good aroma comes. Transfer it to another container.

Heat milk and water in the heavy bottomed pan and when the content heats up, add the roasted cracked wheat.

Allow it to cook partially closed. Stir occasionally. Cook until the wheat is tender. If all the moisture is absorbed and still the wheat is not cooked, pour half a cup water and allow it to cook until the wheat is tender.

When the wheat is fully cooked, add the sugar and cardamom. The content will loosen and again start thickening. When most of the moisture is absorbed, add the remaining ghee. Stir well until even distribution. Let the halwa be a little loose as the sweet tends to thicken after some time.

Stir in the nutmeg powder and garnish with almonds ,cashews,Raisins. Delicious lapsi is ready.

Tip:-

Try a combination of water, Water & milk or all milk for creamier halwa.
