atte ka malpua recipe is a fascinating Indian sweet recipe with fabulous texture and flavour. Learn how to make Rajasthani malpua.
To make atte ka malpua, combine the sugar and 1 cup of water in a deep non-stick pan and cook on a medium flame for 3 minutes, while stirring continuously. Transfer the mixture into a deep bowl and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, add the crushed peppercorns, fennel seeds, whole wheat flour and ¼ cup of water and mix well using a whisk. Keep aside. Heat the ghee in a broad non-stick pan, pour a ladleful of the mixture into the hot ghee 1 at a time and deep-fry on a high flame till golden brown in colour from all the sides. Repeat step 4 to make 14 more malpuas. Serve immediately.
Rajasthani malpua is just what you need to warm your heart on a cold, winter’s day. It is not surprising then that this is a traditional favourite in Rajasthani households, especially during the unrelenting winter days. You will also find it astonishing that with the use of minimal ingredients, which are easily available in our house, can be crafted into such an irresistible dessert.
The smell of sugary, spicy whole wheat batter deep-frying in ghee, especially the prominent accents of fennel and pepper, is enough to make one drool! Remember that you have to only melt the sugar in water and make a sugar syrup. We do not need one or two thread consistency sugar syrup in this mithai. So cook the sugar for the said time only.
This Indian sweet recipe is often teamed up with rabdi – another Indian sweet made by simmering milk till it thickens and is made sweet by the addition of sugar. Further, elaichi powder and nuts are made to give it a richer flavour and taste.
Tips for atte ka malpua. 1. At step 1, keep stirring the sugar syrup continuously so as to avoid it sticking to the pan. 2. After making the batter, ensure it is lump free. 3. To get perfectly round and crispy malpuas, make sure the ghee is piping hot before ladling the batter into it.

You must have had a lot of these in weddings.. but u can now make this at home too! Its sweet and tasty.. A specific care should be taken that it is fired in a very very hot ghe.. only then you will get the perfect shape.. even a little cold ghee may destroy its shme and the malpua may not form...

The recipe says to serve immediately, if we don''t serve immediately what happens? Does it become hard n can''t be eaten?

Tarla Dalal

If you serve immediately its warm and tastes better. However you can make and serve it within 3 to 4 hours also.
