Bulgar Sweet (lapsi)















Ingredients

Quantity
Corn oil margarine
1 ounce
Coarsely ground wheat (bulgar)
1 ¼ cups
Fennel seeds
1tbsp
Golden seedless raisins
¼ cup
Nonfat milk
2 ¼ cups
Nonfat dry milk powder
¼ cup
Sugar
½ cup (reduce if preferred)
Saffron
1 pinch
Yellow food coloring
¼ tsp
Cardamoms – crushed
½ tsp
Nutmeg – grated
½ tsp
Almonds – finely sliced
2 tbsp


In a saucepan, heat margarine and saute wheat and fennel seeds, stirring frequently, until the wheat is light golden brown; about 10 to 15 minutes. Add raisins and cook until the raisins are swollen. Remove saucepan from heat.

Carefully add nonfat milk, nonfat milk powder, sugar, saffron, and yellow food color. Stir well, and bring to boil.

Reduce heat slightly, cover and cook until almost all the liquid has been absorbed.

Add cardamoms, nutmeg, and fold in. Cover and cook on a very low heat for 20 minutes or until the wheat is cooked but still moist. (Add a little water if too dry.)

Garnish with almonds and serve.

(Can be used as a first course, as a cereal, or as dessert)
