Malpua - Amita Style [sweet dumplings in milk sauce]

If you thought, making Malpua was a cumbersome process and needed a lot of preparation. Think again!

I make Malpua so fast and easy that I can quickly fix it if I have 15 minutes for dinner / lunch. Believe me, this is a dessert that people will ask for more ... and always have appetite for. So time for -

Malpua, Amita Style
[For approx 8 malpuas]
Part I - The dumplings


1. Sieve together 2 cups of all purpose flour, one cup of wheat flour and a pinch of Baking Powder
2. In a grinder, mix the dry ingredients above with about 1 cup of milk. The milk should be enough to get a consistency of thin paste. It should easily fall of a spoon - but not be too liquid.
3. Heat oil (for deep fry) in a wok. When hot, drop a table-spoon full of the batter. The batter will spread a bit, before taking a nice circular shape.
4. Allow the Malpuas to fry until it sizzles. Once the sizzling stops, flip it around.
5. Repeat this for rest of the batter

Part II - Sugar Syrup
[You can do this parallel to making the Malpua and save time]

1. Heat 2 small cups of sugar in 1 small cup of water for about 5 minutes. The solution should turn a little sticky.
2. Add the Malpuas in the sugar syrup and coat all sides nicely
3. Roll them over grated coconut (if available)- coconut will stick on the sticky surface of the malpua, giving it a nice look and crunchy taste.

Part III - Milk Sauce

1. Thicken Milk. If using condensed milk, use as it is.
2. Add crushed dry-fruits like cashew and almonds to the milk and stir lightly.
3. Cool the milk.

To Serve
In a deep bowl, put the dumplings and pour generously the milk sauce on top. Scoop a bite - how does it feel ???

After all, every day is special - treat it as such!
