MALPUA

A traditional rajasthani sweet savored by all .This recipe can be made with either wheat flour or plain flour depending on what you prefer..I have tried both & both taste divine..As beginners you can try plain flour to start of with.. Malpua is so spongy yet crunchy that no one can eat just one ;) With just a few ingredients you can make these instantly when ever you have cravings or guests arriving at a short notice...You will definitely get compliments on your sweet skills...


Preparation Time: 10 mins
Frying Time : 15 mins
Serves: 8-10

Ingredients:

•  Plain Flour/Wheat flour : 1 cup
• Sugar : 1/2 cup
• Milk : 1/4 cup
• Curds: 2 tsp (optional)
• Cooking Soda : 1/4 tsp (optional)
• Water : to make a flowing consistency batter
• Ghee (clarified butter) : for frying

Method:

Take a bowl, add flour, sugar, milk , curds with water & mix well until sugar dissolves. Let the batter rest for half an hour.
Now take a flat bottom pan & heat ghee in it. Now take your prepared batter , fill a spoon with it & slowly drop this batter in the ghee, which is at low flame at this point of time. This mix automatically spreads once in pan,  so drop a thin layer only of 2'' diameter. Once your able to move it slightly, you can turn it over & turn on medium flame. Cook until the ring turns brown on both sides & the centre remains yellow..Drain the excess ghee on tissues..Serve hot!
Tip: Once you are confident of the malpua, then you can drop three to four in the pan depending on the size of your pan.
You can also store this batter for two days in the refrigerator.
