Frying malpua
- Mix the prepared batter once, and take a ladle full of batter and pour in the hot oil. Cook from both sides until golden brown and edges turn crisp.
- Remove from oil and immediately soak in the sugar syrup. Soak for few seconds and remove. repeat the same with the remaining batter.
- Serve with nuts, hot or warm with rabdi.
Notes
- If the batter is very thick, the malpuas will turn soft and dense, the batter should be free flowing for thin and crispy malpuas.
- You can add crumbled khova instead of milk powde.
- The oil or ghee should be hot, else the crepes will soak up oil and turn chewy too.
