Malpua is a traditional Indian sweet that is especially popular during festivals like Holi. To make the perfect malpua, start with the right ingredients: you’ll need all-purpose flour, ripe bananas, sugar, and milk. Begin by mashing the bananas and mixing them with the flour, sugar, and milk to create a smooth batter. It’s essential to achieve a consistency that is neither too thick nor too runny. Let the batter rest for a while to enhance the flavors.
When it’s time to cook, heat some ghee or oil in a pan. Pour a ladleful of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring it spreads out evenly. Fry until golden brown on both sides, then drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. For an authentic touch, you can infuse the batter with cardamom or add grated coconut. Finally, serve the malpua warm, drizzled with sugar syrup or garnished with pistachios for an extra crunch. Enjoy this sweet treat with loved ones during Holi!
