Traditional Gujarati Lapsi for the Celebrate Sweets Event focusing on "Gujarati Sweets"


Lapsi is a traditional Gujarati sweet often served up on auspicious occasions.  I was looking for a partcular lapsi recipe that I had  often been heard my dad mention.   He used to tell us how when he was a young boy, he used to walk miles to see his sister on Veer Pasali day.  Veer Pasali  Day is very similar to Rakshabandhan Day.  On this brothers visit their sisters with  presents and the sister cooks a nice meal for him. I remember my dad mentioning that his sister would always make lapsi for him and serve it to him with lots of ghee.  Even today in Gujarat, when  Lapsi is served to guests, it is served  hot and lots of  ghee is drizzled over it.
