I hadn't made or eaten laapsi for a very long time! I think I was afraid to make it and have it turn out bad! But a quick conversation with my mother-in-law put my mind at ease and so here I am with this quick, easy and successful recipe of how to make great laapsi! But be sure to follow all the tips in my video!
Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS:
· 3/4 Cup (150g) Medium Bulgur Wheat (Laapsi)
· ¼ Cup (50g) Ghee
· 2 Cinnamon Sticks
· 4 Cups (480ml) Boiling Hot Water
· 1/4 Cup + 2 Tbspn (85g) Granulated Sugar
· 15g (14 - 15) Almonds Sliced Thick
· 1/2 tspn Cardamom Powder (Elchi)
· 1 tspn Sultanas (optional)
· 1 tspn Aniseed (Variyari)
METHOD:
Make sure you weigh the dry ingredients and Ghee for accuracy.
Heat Ghee in a deep pan on a low heat.
Add Cinnamon Sticks & fry until you can smell the cinnamon scent.
Meanwhile, slice the Almonds into 3 thick slices.
Add Bulgur and fry on lowest heat until it is golden brown (about 10 minutes).
Add Aniseed, sliced Almonds, Sultanas and fry for about 1 minute.
Then, with the lid handy, add the boiling, hot water very carefully.
Cover & cook the Bulgur on the lowest heat for 20-30 minutes or until the grains of bulgur are cooked through and the moisture has evaporated.
Add the Sugar (Note: it won’t cook more after adding the Sugar). And add the Cardamom Powder.
Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
The Laapsi is ready to enjoy!
