हलवाई जैसा | Malpua | Malpua Recipe | Sweets

Malpua is a traditional Indian dessert made by frying small, fluffy pancakes in ghee (clarified butter) until they turn golden brown. The batter is typically prepared using a combination of all-purpose flour, milk, and sometimes semolina or rice flour. It’s often flavored with cardamom and saffron, giving it a fragrant and rich taste. Once fried, the malpuas are soaked in a sugar syrup, which adds sweetness and moisture. They’re often garnished with chopped nuts, such as almonds and pistachios, and enjoyed warm.

Sure, here’s a basic recipe for Malpua:

Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup milk powder
– 1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas
– 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds (optional)
– 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
– A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
– 1 cup milk
– Oil or ghee for frying
– Sugar syrup (1 cup sugar + 1/2 cup water, boiled together until slightly thick)

Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, milk powder, mashed bananas, fennel seeds, cardamom powder, and saffron strands (if using).
2. Gradually add milk to the dry ingredients and mix to form a smooth batter. The batter should be of pouring consistency, similar to pancake batter.
3. Heat oil or ghee in a shallow frying pan over medium heat.
4. Once the oil/ghee is hot, pour a ladleful of batter into the pan to form a small pancake-like shape (Malpua). You can make multiple Malpuas at once, depending on the size of your pan.
5. Fry until the bottom side is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden as well. Make sure the Malpua is cooked through.
6. Remove the fried Malpua from the pan and let excess oil drain on a paper towel.
7. Dip the fried Malpua in the sugar syrup for a few seconds, allowing it to soak up the syrup.
8. Remove from the syrup and place on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped nuts if desired.
9. Serve the Malpua warm. You can enjoy it.
