Lapsi ( upma variety) - 1 cup

Sugar - 2 cups

Unsweetened khoa - 100 gms

Ghee - ½ cup

Water - 3 cups

Cardamom powder - 1 tsp

Chopped nuts - 2 tbsp

Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a pressure pan.

Add lapsi & roast on a low fire well.

In the meanwhile keep 2 ½ cups boiling water ready.

When the lapsi gives an aroma, lower the stove &add the water carefully since it is likely ro splash.

Close the cooker, keep the weight & lower the flame without waiting for the whistle.

Cook for 10 mts.

Heat the remaining ½ cup of water on a low fire, adding sugar & grated khoa to a mixture.

When the pressure has dropped, open & add this mixture to the cooked lapsi.

Stir on a low fire, adding the ghee gradually till the mixture thickens & the mass starts leaving the sides of the pan.

Add cardamom powder & switch off.
