Malpua (Without sugar syrup)

Malpua (without sugar syrup) step-by-step recipe with photos.

Malpua is a popular sweet dish made during festivals like Holi and Janmashtami. Malpuas are similar to pancakes and are made with plain flour and some semolina. The main flavour of malpua comes from fennel seeds which makes them very unique in taste. Malpua is generally soaked in sugar syrup once fried but I prefer to make them without sugar syrup. The recipe I am sharing here is without soaking them in sugar syrup making it a very easy and quick dish.

This is a very simple dish to put together. Mildly sweet malpuas that have a crispy edge and a soft centre is perfect for any occasion. Do give this version a try!
