Lapsi is a Gujarati dessert made with broken wheat. Broken wheat can take a long time to cook but here I have done the dessert in a pressure cooker, thus making it very simple and easy to prepare. There are different varieties in which lapsi is made. Usually it requires a lot of ghee and sugar but I chose to use lesser amount of ghee and sugar when I came across the pressure cooker version of lapsi in Tarla Dalal ji's site.
