"Malpua" a popular dessert across India and is often served during festivals and special occasions.
Here's a Malpua recipe for you to try at home:
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
1/4 cup semolina (sooji)
1/4 cup desiccated coconut (nariyal ka burada)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon green cardamom (choti elaichi) powder
Oil or ghee for frying
For the syrup:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon green cardamom (choti elaichi) powder
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, semolina, desiccated coconut, sugar, and green cardamom powder. Mix well.
Gradually add milk to the dry ingredients and whisk to form a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.
Heat oil or ghee in a deep frying pan on medium heat.
Using a ladle, pour a small amount of batter into the pan to make a small disc. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
Once the malpuas are cooked, remove them from the pan and set them aside on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil or ghee.
In a separate pan, combine sugar, water, and green cardamom powder. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly.
Dip each malpua in the syrup and let it soak for a minute or two.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Malpua!
