Today we have brought for you Khoya Malpua Such an easy recipe, which tastes amazing and is very easy to make. This is such a sweet, eating which will make your brother’s heart happy. So let’s get started!

To make Malpua batter:

• Khoya (Mawa): 1 cup (about 200 grams)
• Fine flour: ½ cup
• Semolina (Rava): 2 tbsp
• Milk: 1 cup (or as per requirement)
• Fennel Powder: 1 tbsp
• Green Cardamom Powder: ½ tsp
• Sugar: 1 tbsp (for batter only)
• baking powder: just a pinch
• Ghee: to fry

To make syrup:

• Sugar: 1 cup
• Water: ½ cup
• Saffron threads: 8-10 (if desired)
• Green Cardamom Powder: ½ tsp

To decorate (garnish):

• finely chopped pistachios and almonds
• Silver work (if desired)

The easiest method to make

Step 1: Prepare the solution

First of all, take khoya (mawa) in a big bowl and mash it well with your hands, so that there are no lumps in it. Now add flour, semolina, fennel powder, cardamom powder, a pinch of baking powder and milk and mix well.

An important tip: The batter should be such that it falls easily from the spoon, just like the batter for pakodas – neither too thick, nor too thin. Now cover it and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. With this the semolina will swell well and your Malpuas will become very soft.

Step 2: Make the syrup

While the solution is resting, we make the syrup. Put 1 cup sugar and half cup water in a pan and let it cook on low flame. When the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup starts becoming slightly thick, add cardamom powder and saffron threads to it.

Remember: All we need is a slightly sticky, one string syrup. It should not be made too thick. Now turn off the gas and let the syrup remain slightly warm.

Step 3: Fry the Malpuas

Now take a wide pan or kadhai and heat ghee in it. Keep the flame medium. When the ghee is properly heated, gently pour the batter into the ghee with the help of a large spoon and let it spread on its own in a round shape. Fry it gently until it turns golden brown on both sides. If fried on high flame, the Malpuas will burn from outside and remain raw from inside.

Step 4: Dip in syrup and decorate

Immediately after frying, take out the Malpua and dip it directly into the lukewarm syrup. Let it remain in the syrup for 1 to 2 minutes so that it absorbs the sweetness properly.

Now take out the Malpua in a plate. Add some chopped almonds and pistachios on top and if desired, also apply silver work.

Here, your hot, juicy khoya malpuas made with your own hands are ready! This Bhai Dooj, give this sweet surprise to your brother and he will never stop praising you!
