Rajasthani Lapsi (with Jaggery) / Broken Wheat Sweet

Here is a special recipe on my 175th post; this is also my first post to the International Food Challenge, administered by Saraswathi Tharagaram and Shobana Sekar.

I have selected this traditional sweet of Rajasthan for this challenge. This yummy sweet is easy to make with simple ingredients and a perfect choice for nivedhyam / prasadham that can be prepared in a short time. 



The combination of wheat with jaggery and ghee gives a nice rich taste and moist texture to the this dish.  Try and enjoy this sweet with your family and friends.

A big thanks to Manjula Bharath of Desi Fiesta for hosting this month's challenge and for introducing us to a wide variety of delicious food from Rajasthani Cuisine.  To know more about international Food Challenge click here.
