Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, milk powder, yogurt, mango puree, and rose essence.
  • Mix until a smooth batter forms, ensuring there are no lumps. The batter should be pourable but not too thin.
  • Heat the clarified butter in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. The ghee is ready when a drop of batter sizzles gently.
  • Using a deep spoon or ladle, pour a portion of the batter onto the hot ghee, forming a small circle. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to ensure even cooking.
  • While the malpuas are cooking, prepare the sugar syrup. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the syrup slightly thickens. Add saffron strands for flavor and color.
  • Once the malpuas are cooked, gently dip them in the warm sugar syrup, allowing them to soak for a minute or two. This adds sweetness and moisture.

  • Serve the Mango Malpuas warm, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a dollop of fresh yogurt, if desired.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • For a richer flavor and softer texture, allow the malpua batter to rest for at least 30 minutes before frying. This allows the rice flour to hydrate and the flavors to meld.
  • If you prefer a crispier malpua, fry them in a shallow pool of hot ghee rather than oil. This will help them puff up and develop a golden crust.
  • Sprinkle chopped pistachios or slivered almonds over the malpuas immediately after soaking them in the sugar syrup for added flavor, crunch, and visual appeal.
  • For a vegan version, use coconut yogurt and a plant-based milk powder. The coconut notes complement the mango and rose essence beautifully.

Expert Tips

  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the malpuas. Fry them in batches to ensure even cooking and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the sugar syrup to your liking. For a less sweet syrup, reduce the amount of sugar or add a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Serve malpuas warm for the best flavor and texture. They can be reheated gently in a microwave or on a skillet if needed.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover malpuas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
