1 cup Lapsi Rava (cracked wheat/ Bulgur wheat/ Dalia)
3/4 cup grated Jaggery
2 tbsp Pure ghee
1/2 cup fresh grated coconut
3 cup Water
1/4 cup warm Milk
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
Pinch of salt
3 tbsp cashew, pistachio, almond slices
1 tbsp golden raisins



Method:
1) Heat 2 tbsp ghee into a pan. Roast rava nicely over medium heat. Also add cashew, pistachio and almond slices
2) While roasting rava, boil 3 cups of water on another stove-top. Add pinch of salt to the water.
3) When rava is roasted nicely, add hot water and warm milk. Mix nicely. Cover and cook for couple of minutes over medium heat. Add fresh coconut and mix.
4) When rava is almost cooked, add grated jaggery and stir with spatula, until jaggery melts. Add raisins.
5) Cover and cook for few more minutes over low heat. Add cardamom powder and mix well.
Serve hot.

Tips:
1) Lapsi Rava should be roasted nicely. Otherwise 'shira' won't come out well.
2) After adding water to the rava, Let it cook nicely. If you rush to add the jaggery, rava may remain little uncooked.
3) If you want it more sweet, add 1/4 cup of jaggery more.
4) When serving to new mothers (nursing mothers) add a teaspoon of ghee and sprinkle some fresh coconut to enhance the taste.
