Ingredients

  • 2 cups of raw papaya
  • ½ cup of legume flour (besan)
  • ½ cup of finely chopped onion
  • 2 hot peppers, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of ginger and garlic paste
  • ¼ cup of finely chopped cilantro
  • ½ teaspoon of red pepper powder

  • ½ teaspoon of coriander powder
  • ⅓ teaspoon of black pepper powder
  • ¼ cup of breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons of oil
  • Salt to taste

First, peel the raw papaya and grate it. Then, gently squeeze it to remove excess liquid.

In a large bowl, mix the grated papaya, legume flour, onion, green pepper, ginger and garlic paste, and cilantro. After that, add the red pepper powder, cumin seed powder, coriander powder, black pepper, and salt, and mix all components thoroughly. Next, stir in the breadcrumbs and knead the mixture well. It is important that the mixture is thick enough to easily form cutlets.

Lightly grease your hands and form round or oval cutlets from the mixture. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the cutlets over medium heat on both sides until golden and crispy. Place the finished cutlets on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Wheat Groats Lapsi Dessert: A Recipe for Raksha Bandhan Celebration

The festival of Raksha Bandhan fills the relationship between brothers and sisters with sweetness and joy. If you wish to avoid store-bought, artificial sweets and prepare something traditional, pure, and quick at home, then grainy Rajasthani lapsi, made from one cup of wheat groats, is an excellent choice.

In Rajasthan, preparing lapsi is considered very auspicious for any good deed or celebration. The aroma of roasted groats in ghee, the natural sweetness of Pakistani sugar, and the flavor of cardamom and saffron make it very succulent. In a multi-cooker, it is ready in just 15 minutes. Next, we will tell you about the necessary ingredients and the simplest way to prepare it.

Ingredients

For preparation, you will need:

  • Wheat groats (large lapsi): 1 cup
  • Pakistani sugar (grated) or sugar: 1 cup (to taste)
  • Ghee (clarified butter): 1/2 cup
  • Water: 3 cups (hot water)
  • Green cardamom powder: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Saffron strands: 8–10 (soaked in 1 teaspoon of hot water)
  • Almonds, cashews, and pistachios (chopped): 2 tablespoons
  • Dried apricots (Kuraqa): 1 tablespoon

Preparation Method

In the multi-cooker, heat 1/2 cup of ghee. Add 1 cup of wheat groats and fry over low or medium heat, stirring constantly. Fry for 5–7 minutes until the groats turn light pink and golden, and a very pleasant aroma appears. Then add the chopped cashews, almonds, and dried apricots and stir for another minute so that the nuts lightly brown in the oil.

Now pour in 3 cups of boiling hot water and add the soaked saffron. (Using cold water will cause the groats to clump and not become grainy).

Close the multi-cooker lid and cook on medium heat until two whistles are heard. After this, turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. When the pressure drops, open the lid. The groats should be well cooked. Now add 1 cup of grated Pakistani sugar and cardamom powder. (Pakistani sugar should only be added after the groats are fully cooked, otherwise, the groats will remain raw).

Turn on the heat and simmer on low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, so that the Pakistani sugar completely dissolves into the groats and gives them a succulent consistency. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of ghee and finely chopped pistachios on top. The finished hot, grainy, and succulent Rajasthani lapsi is ready! Serve it to the gods in honor of Raksha Bandhan and treat your brother with it.
