Fada-Lapsi

               Happy, Healthy and Safe Diwali to all my readers!!!
       Diwali is incomplete without an authentic sweets and desserts, and so here it is.. A authentic dessert- Fada Lapsi....Fada Lapsi, a delicious Indian sweet, hardly needs any introduction!! Lapsi is a dessert, famous in western Indian especially in Gujarat and Rajasthan. The fada lapsi taste amazing as combination of broken wheat and cardamom and ghee.. Moist and soft old fashioned Lapsi oozes with the richness of desi Ghee..Often jiggery and milk is used in the preparation but I like simple old traditional recipe of adding water an sugar because this is Diwali Special:) It is always cooked on festival days like Holi, Dhanteras and Diwali and of course on some special occasions or for ritual(pooja)..
