HOLI Hai!!!! Malpua is a popular sweet to make on the occasion of Holi.They are deep fried pancakes that are commonly served as a dessert.
I tried my hand at this awesome preparation with a slight twist to my mom's recipe at my friend Neha's place today and it came out really good. The Bihari version of this dish has sugar added to the batter prior to frying, while the method prevalent in Orissa has the fritters dipped in syrup after they are fried. Below I have both the recipes explained.

How to make malpua:
Take the half and half milk or Boil the milk till it reduces to 1/2 its quantity Pour the milk or water slowly into the mixture , while stirring.
Add the dry ingredients and mix it well so that there are no lumps.
It should be a smooth pouring consistency.
Pour ghee in a pan and heat it on a low flame. Take a full spoon of the mixture and flatten in a round shape in the pan. if it does not come in a circular shape, pour in circular movements into the ghee to form a small pan cake. Turn over. Take care that it does not become crisp and hard. Fry the malpua on low and medium flame.
When the malpua starts turning golden, take it out on a plate with tissues to absorb the extra oil. Dipping syrup: (Optional)
- Make a sugar syrup by boiling 2 cups of water with 1 cup of sugar
- Put a few drops of rosewater
- Dip the malpura in the syrup and lay out on a plate.
Serve hot or cold to your dear ones... this will surely bring a smile on their faces!
