Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For an extra-rich flavor, infuse your milk with a few saffron strands before curdling to make the paneer—this will impart a beautiful golden hue and subtle floral aroma to your malpua.
  • If you prefer a tangy undertone, use a touch of orange zest in the batter along with the cardamom; it pairs wonderfully with the creamy paneer and balances the sweetness.
  • To ensure light and airy malpuas, let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before frying; this helps the baking soda activate and results in fluffier pancakes.
  • Store leftover malpuas by layering them between parchment paper and refrigerating in an airtight container—gently reheat in a non-stick pan or microwave before serving to restore their softness.
