LUP'PI / BESAN KA SHEERA
About LUP'PI / BESAN KA SHEERA
Comforting, nutritious and delicious Punjabi style chickpea flour sweet soup that can double up as a dessert (simply reduce the amount of water for that). It helps sooth a cold or flu and is therapeutic and preventive in nature. I grew up knowing it as Lup'pi and not besan ka sheera as the world calls it 🙂

Instructions
- Place a heavy bottomed pan on heat and add ghee. Reduce the heat to low and add chick pea flour.
- Using a spoon or spatula, roast the flour on low heat till its colour changes to a deeper tone and it emanates a nutty aroma (10 - 12 mins approx.), stirring continuously.
- Add water and increase the heat to high. At this point the soup will look grainy and curdled. Keep stirring the pot till the contents come to a boil.
- Reduce the heat , stir in the sugar and cardamom and simmer for 30 seconds and then switch off the heat. It should have custard like consistency.
- Pour the contents to serving bowls and serve immediately garnished with almonds.
Recipe Notes
- It is extremely essential to roast the chick pea flour well so as to bring out its nuttiness. Else the soup will taste very raw and pasty.
- Vegans can replace the ghee with coconut oil. Although I have never tried it with coconut oil but I believe it will not be able to give it that rich taste which ghee lends.
- Feel free to increase or decrease the amount of ghee in the recipe. Ditto for water.
- You can replace water with milk to make the soup richer.
- You need to constantly keep stirring the contents in the pot to prevent them from burning.
