MalpuaRecipe<br />
Let’s Start Step by Step Malpura Recipe:<br />
1. In a mixing bowl take 1 cup all-purpose flour/maida, 1 tsp fennel seeds/saunf, 3 to 4 cardamoms,<br />
crushed or ⅓ tsp cardamom powder mix the dry ingredients well.<br />
2. Add 3 tbsp grated khoya and 3 tbsp curd/yogurt. Please use fresh yogurt. Instead of khoya/mawa<br />
you can also use whole milk powder.<br />
3. Add ½ cup water.<br />
4. Begin to stir.<br />
5. Stir to a thick flowing batter without any lumps. Cover and allow the batter to rest for 30 to 40<br />
minutes. You can even keep the batter for about 2 hours at room temperature.<br />
6. The below pic shows the consistency of the malpua batter.<br />
7. Meanwhile when the batter is resting, blanch the almonds and pistachios in hot water. Keep them<br />
soaked in hot water for 20 to 30 minutes. Then peel.<br />
8. Slice them and keep aside.<br />
9. Just before you begin to fry the malpuas, prepare the sugar syrup heat ½ cup sugar and ¼ cup water<br />
here i have used cane sugar and hence this golden color.<br />
10. On a low flame simmer these mixtures also stir well so that the sugar melts.<br />
11. You need to have a ½ strings or 1 string consistency in the sugar syrup if you cannot achieve these<br />
string consistencies than just make sticky syrup. The sugar syrup must be kept warm for this keep<br />
the sugar syrup on a hot water bath so that it stays warm throughout and does not crystallize<br />
meaning keep the sugar syrup pan on a bowl or another pan filled with hot water. The hot water<br />
should touch the base of the pan containing the sugar syrup.<br />
12. Heat 3 tbsp ghee in a pan or griddle. Here i am shallow frying the malpuas instead of deep frying<br />
them you can also deep fry.<br />
13. Lastly add 3 pinches baking soda or ⅛ tsp baking soda to the malpua batter.<br />
14. Mix very well. This is important as you want the baking soda to be mixed evenly.<br />
15. Lower the flame. Take 2 tbsp to 3 tbsp of the batter and gently pour it on the hot ghee. spread the<br />
batter lightly with the back of the spoon make 2 to 4 malpuas depending on the size of the pan. fry<br />
on a low to medium flame.<br />
16. When the base become light golden, flip over.<br />
17. Flip once more and fry the other side. Flip again and fry till the malpuas have a crisp edge and are<br />
golden frymalpuas this way and add more ghee if required while frying.<br />
18. Drain them on paper towels.<br />
19. Then immediately place them in the warm sugar syrup.<br />
20. Gently coat the malpuas with the sugar syrup with the help of a spoon or small tongs.<br />
21. Remove them and place them in a serving tray or plate.<br />
22. Pour some rabri on top garnish with the chopped almonds, pistachios and crushed saffron. Serve the<br />
malpua with rabdi hot. You can also just serve the malpuas coated with the sugar syrup and<br />
garnished with the dry fruits prepare all malpuas this way and coat them with the sugar syrup.<br />
