This Malpua recipe is quite different, They melt in the mouth and the nuts used in the garnish look appealing.I eat these immediately once they are made. One needs practice to make them perfectly.

Love good recipes

Malpuas made using fresh paneer which will melt in your mouth. Once soaked in the syrup, the taste enhances and serve with pistachios.

I never thought making Malpua would be so easy.. The paneer malpua dipped in sugar syrup tastes fantastic.. If you love sweet dishes and looking for something different apart from the regular ones.. you must try this!!
