Malpua Recipe ( Quick Shallow Fried )
by Tarla Dalal

Hot malpuas are irresistible, whether had plain or with a topping of cold rabadi . Try making this delightful treat at home itself, and with a slight twist.

In this version, I have avoided deep-frying the malpuas and cooked them with minimal ghee in a frying pan. They turn out as soft as ever.

You can also try other traditional sweet treats like Jalebi or Gulab Jamun .
