“I'm not a vegetarian! I'm a dessertarian!”
Pro Tips to make Best Malpua
- Make sure the batter is lump-free and smooth.
- The ghee should be very moderately hot. Do not fry the Malpua in very hot ghee otherwise, they will be raw from inside.
- Try to use a shallow non-stick pan to fry the Malpua.
- A good malpua is crispy on the edges and soft in the center.
- The sugar syrup should be hot when we soak the malpua in it.
- You can add a mashed banana in the batter. Adding banana in the batter is more of a Bihari and Oriya thing. In UP & Rajasthan, it’s not added.
