Crispy Malpua

Malpua is one of the easiest sweet snacks. Bengali sweets are the best in India . In the northern parts of India Malpua is made with khoya and maida but in Bengal we mostly use suji or semolina instead of that. At my home everyone likes crispy Malpua without dipping into the sugar syrup which can be kept for storage for couple of days. Also all can snack it whenever they want to munch in something. Malpuas are made in many other process, some fry malpuas then dip into the sugar syrup as well and many other ways. I want to share with you all my way of easy cooking crispy Malpua.

Ingredients-

• 1/2 cup maida or all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup suji or semolina
• 1/2 cup milk or water(to keep it stored for long use water)
• 1/2 cup sugar 
• 100gm condensed milk(optional)
• 1tsp curd
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
• 1/2 tsp fennel seeds(saunf)
• 1tbsp coconut shredded(optional)
• Ghee or vegetable oil for deep frying

How to cook -

Take a big bowl and combine all the ingredients together except oil . If you dont use condensed milk then add more sugar as per your taste. Now add 1 cup water and make a smooth batter
Heat ghee or oil in a kadai/pan .

Pour a ladle full of batter onto the kadai carefully and deep fry on medium heat on both the sides. when the both sides are golden brown the malpua is ready. Do the same for making other malpuas.

Serve hot or cold as per your choice. Garnish with some pistachios or any other dry fruits.


Tips-

1. Curd helps in soaking very less oil in the malpua so its good to add 1 spoon of curd into the batter.
2. For getting crispy malpuas fry it in low to mediukm heat, it will take little time but it will turn out crispy and crunchy.
3. I fry in pan so i can fry 4 malpuas at a time.
4. You can use any kind of dry fruits like cashew, raisins and mix into the batter.

Happy cooking :)
