Malpua is a tradition sweet desert found in India. Thin (sometimes thick) Fried wheat dough dipped in sugar syrup decorated or garnished with dry fruits. This is found all year round but is a specialty during festivals and fasting.
India is a land of many culture and thus festivals of different religions keep on occurring round the year some in this month or some in another. Malpua is even cooked during festivals to be offered to God and Goddess.
Let us make Malpua today and enjoy this traditional sweet desert right from our home. Let's Begin...
Steps & Ingredients to make Malpua:
Take a mixing bowl.
- Add 1 cup of atta (wheat flour)
- Add 2 cup milk (cooked / boiled and cooled under room temperature)
Mix it properly.
Make a semi thick batter.
- Add 1-2 tsp elaichi powder (cardamon)
- Add 1 tsp sauf powder (fennel)
- Add 2 tbsp mawa (dry milk)
- Add 1 tsp kesar (saffron)
Mix well, the batter will get a creamy texture.
Check consistency by dropping a spoon full batter back into the mixing bowl, if the drops dissolve into the batter, it means you have achieved what is required.
Keep it aside to rest and be used later.
Now let us make the sugar syrup.
Heat up a pan.
- Take 1/2 cup sugar
- Take 2 cups of water
- Add 5 green cardamon (chota elaichi)
- Add 1 pinch of saffron (kesar)
- Add 1 tsp rose water (gulab jal)
Let it boil.
Check consistency, it should be less than 1 string.
Take it out and keep it aside and ready because as soon as the malpua batter is fried it needs to be dipped in this sugar syrup.
Let us FRY -
Heat up a pan with clarified butter (ghee) for frying.
- Oil should be really hot.
Put a scoop of the wheat flour batter / malpua batter in the oil.
Fry until golden brown from both sides.
Take it out from the oil.
Stain excess oil.
Dip it in the sugar syrup.
Leave it for 2 - 4 minutes in the sugar syrup, let it drink some sugar syrup.
Malpua is ready to be served.
Garnish with Silver paper and some chopped pistachio and almonds along with a strand of saffron.
