About
Malpua is a popular Indian sweet dish made from maida (all-purpose flour), semolina, milk, and sugar syrup. It is especially made during festivals like Holi, Diwali, and Raksha Bandhan. The dish is fried in ghee until golden brown and then dipped in sugar syrup. A special feature of this dish is that it has a crispy edge and a soft center. The aroma of cardamom and saffron in malpua is truly mesmerizing. This sweet dish is also served as prasad (offering) at temples.
