Lapsi or dahlia (broken wheat) is extremely nutritious. Many of us may be aware that lapsi sweets are made, specially in Gujarat, Maharashtra and the North. But the recipe I am sharing here is savory and ideal for breakfast or lunch and makes for a wholesome meal. You can add as many veggies as you like to make it colorful and healthy. One bowl of lapsi can fill you up and your all set begin a healthy day. You can pair this with a bowl of yoghurt too.
Ingredients:
- Lapsi (Broken wheat) - 1 cup
- Onion - 1 medium sized
- Tomato - 1 medium sized
- Ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tbsp
- Mixed vegetables - 1/2 cup ( You can use peas, carrots, french beans)
- Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
- Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
- Curry leaves - a few
- Oil and water - As required
- Salt to taste
- Wash and soak lapsi in 1 cup of water before you start chopping/slicing your veggies.
- In a cooker, heat oil, add cumin, curry leaves, and onions, let it fry well. Once onions have turned translucent, add salt, ginger-garlic paste and turmeric.
- Add the tomatoes and fry well till the oil separates from the masala. Add the veggies and fry for about two to three minutes.
