What is Instant Malpua ?

They are Indian pancakes made using flour + milk combination.

No matter, how you serve it, it’s going to make you fall in love with them. 

What are the Ingredients for Instant Malpua ?

Sooji (Semolina)

All Purpose Flour (you can use whole wheat too, but the malpua’s would be slightly darker)

Milk Powder

Yogurt

Cardamom & Fennel

Sugar Syrup infused with saffron and cardamom

Step by Step Process to Make Instant Malpua 

The recipe is absolutely easy and you can totally customize it as per your need.

Before we start making the Malpua’s we need to make the ‘Sugar Syrup’ also called Chashni to soak them in.

Once, sugar syrup is ready, Just make a smooth batter and almost like a slightly thicker pancake batter.

Then using a ladle, add dollops of the batter and fry the malpua’s.

Cook then evenly on both sides, till they are golden brown.

Transfer the cooked Malpua’s to a platter.

Soak them in sugar syrup for a good 3-4 minutes.

Finally, transfer them to a platter and decorate with dry fruits, rose petals and even coconut powder on top.

Serve and enjoy 🙂
