How many of you have eaten this sweet snack during your childhood? Generally made at my place during Holi or Diwali, this finds a special place in my heart always. My Nani (grandmother) introduced me to this when I was a kid. My daughter likes this too. I made this recently for her and she liked it. This snack is sweet and she has a sweet tooth. You want her to like any food, the trick is to add sugar 😜.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon khoya
- 1 teaspoon powdered green cardamom
- 2 tablespoon chopped pistachios
- saffron as required (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon semolina
- Sugar (1 tbsp)
- water as required
- 1 1/2 cup refined oil
- 10 gm readymade rabri (Optional)
- 1 1/2 cup sugar syrup (Optional)
Method:
- Take a bowl and mix together khoya, all purpose flour, sugar and sooji or semolina.
- Next, add cardamom powder and mix well once again. Gradually add water to prepare the Malpua batter. Ensure that the mixture has a pourable consistency and is not too thick.
- Once the batter is ready, keep it aside for few minutes.
- Take a small bowl and soak saffron in water to make saffron water.
- Now, heat oil in a pan over a low flame.
- When the oil is hot enough, pour a ladleful of the mixture and spread evenly. Keep the flame low and cook until the malpua is golden from both sides.
- Remove the cooked malpua and drain the excess oil.
- Drop the malpua in sugar syrup and allow it to soak for 10 minutes.
- Repeat the same with the remaining batter. Drain the malpuas from the syrup, garnish with pistachios, saffron water and rabri. Serve immediately.
