Tips & Tricks For Perfect Malpua

Focus on batter consistency: To achieve the perfect texture, it is essential to maintain the consistency of the batter. While frying the malpuas, if the batter is too thin, it will break. A thick batter, on the other hand, makes hard and doughy malpuas.

Add a binder for firmness: To make sure the malpua remains firm during frying, add some khoya or cornflour to the batter. This ensures the malpua is not broken when flipped.

Let the batter rest: A resting phase of 30-60 minutes is essential, as it allows the batter to swell, resulting in soft, fluffy malpuas.

Fry them correctly: For perfect frying, it is essential to keep the oil or ghee at a medium-low heat. Ladle a small portion of the batter into the pan and splash hot oil over the top to puff it up. It is ideal to fry them until the edges are crispy.

Serving technique: Once the malpuas are ready, serve them with some chilled rabdi or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Make sure the malpuas are garnished generously with finely chopped nuts.
