Malpua
What Is Malpua? Malpua is a ghee-fried pancake made from all purpose flour batter. Then dipped into the sugar syrup. Many times it is topped with warm rabdi. This dessert is popular in Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh states. Every region has its own version. Some add fruit puree like banana, pineapple, mangoes etc. The version I am sharing is made without fruits, khoya and this kind is more popular in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh. Mostly it is made during the Holi festival. ❤️Why I Love This Recipe These malpua are crispy around the edges and fluffy, soft, spongy in the center. This is an instant malpua recipe. Traditionally the batter is fermented for 8-12 hours and it makes super fluffy and soft texture. Vs in my recipe, the batter is rested for 30 minutes only. But sure it works wonders. The actual cooking time is 20 mins only (plus, batter resting passive time). It’s quick to make dessert. Perfect for any festivals like Diwali, Holi, Navratri,
