| Lapsi or 'Fada Lapsi' as it is called in Western India, is known as 'Dalia'[Daliya] to me ever since I was a kid. It is essentially a porridge made of bulgar wheat and jaggery to mark auspicious ocassions in the Gujarati Community. Try giving this to your kids with cold milk instead of cereal for breakfast for a change. |
