Ingredients
For the Malpua Batter
- 150 grams All-Purpose Flour also known as maida
- 50 grams Semolina also known as suji
- 250 grams Sugar
- 0.5 tsp Fennel Seeds crushed; also known as saunf
- 1/2 cup Milk approximately 120ml. adjust as needed for desired batter consistency.
- 1/4 tsp Cardamom for enhanced flavor, powder; optional
- Pinch Saffron for color and flavor. soak in 1 tablespoon of warm milk for 10 minutes before adding., optional
- Vegetable Oil as needed, for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Combine all-purpose flour, semolina, sugar, crushed fennel seeds, cardamom powder (if using), and saffron (if using) in a large bowl. Gradually add milk, mixing until a smooth, pourable batter forms. The batter should be slightly thicker than pancake batter. Let the batter rest for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator for best results.
Fry the Malpua
- Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or kadai over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (a small piece of batter should sizzle immediately), carefully pour 1-2 tablespoons of batter into the hot oil for each Malpua, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the Malpua
- Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently cook the Malpua, frequently spooning hot oil over the top to ensure even cooking and puffing. Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping carefully with a spatula.
Drain and Serve
- Remove the cooked Malpua from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally drizzled with rabri or kheer for an extra decadent treat.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Malpua
- For extra crispy Malpua, use a high-smoke-point oil like vegetable or canola oil.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in oily Malpua.
- Resting the batter overnight allows the flavors to meld and creates a more tender texture.
- If your batter seems too thick, add a little more milk; if it's too thin, add a little more flour.
