Set the Instant Pot to sauté and add ghee. Once the ghee is heated, add cloves, cinnamon stick and Cracked Wheat.
Stir and start roasting. In the beginning, Cracked Wheat will absorb all the ghee.
On another stove or in the electric kettle, heat the water until it starts simmering. (or use a microwave)
Keep stirring constantly and continue roasting until it becomes aromatic and light brown in color (for about 5-7 minutes). As it gets roasted, you will get a nice toasted aroma and also notice that ghee starts to ooze out and starts bubbling.
Now add hot water slowly, being careful not to splatter.
Close the lid, and use the "Pressure Cook" setting on High Pressure and Normal Heat for 8 minutes. Set the whistle to "Sealing". Cook until the seal release, and pressure valve drops.
Open the lid, and add sugar. Mix until the sugar melts and become mixture becomes runny again.
Add ground Nutmeg.
Add cardamom and dried nuts (almonds, cashews, etc)
Serve Lapsi hot or warm.
Notes
Roast the broken wheat on low heat to ensure it doesn’t burn and develops a nutty flavor.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less jaggery, depending on your preference.
Use a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent the Lapsi from sticking or burning.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat with a splash of water or milk.
