Pushkar malpuas

On the occasion of Hariyali Amavasya we celebrate the festival with making Malpuas.

Hariyali Amavasya is an eventful day for all Hindus and comes three days before Hariyali teej. Hariyali Amavasya is celebrated with great fervor as the festival of rainy season and on this day.

In Hindi language, ‘Amavasya’ implies ‘no moon day’ and ‘Hariyali’ means ‘greenery’, therefore Hariyali Amavasya is observed as moon festival during the rainy season, when the nature blossoms at it best. The festivities of Hariyali Amavasya are very renowned in Northern states of India like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh.

Malpua is one of the favourite dessert of everyone. Today we are going to make this recipe with all the healthy ingredients from your kitchen.

Let’s start with our recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup wheat flour (atta)
• 1 cup + 1/4th cup sugar
• 2 tablespoon Malai (thick cream)
• 250 ml milk
• 5-6 cardamom
• 10 almond and pistachio for garnishing
• Ghee ( clarified butter) for frying
• Water 200 ml

Procedure

• Add Wheat flour to the bowl (deep bowl)
• Slowly add milk to the bowl and mix with the whisk so that no lumps are formed
• Now add malai (thick cream) to the batter
• Keep whisking until you get a smooth batter
• Keep the batter aside for 5 minutes
• Tip- batter consistency should be medium as if it’s too thick your Malpuas would be thick and if it is too loose then Malpua batter can spread all over)
• Take a wide pan now and add sugar and water in it
• Bring it to boil
• Add half Cardamom powder to it
• We are making sugar syrup (less then on string consistency)
• Now add ghee for frying in another flat pan
• Add remaining Cardamom to the batter and whisk again
• Tip- more whisking add fluffiness to the Malpuas
• Now with a big deep spoon add batter to the ghee pan in circular motion.
• ( Tip – once your ghee is too hot slow your gas flame before adding batter as it can easily burn)
• Fry it in high to medium flame
• Flip to another side when one side is cooked (Golden brown) using a tong
• Add it to the sugar syrup and soak it for one minute to two minutes
• Now take out in another bowl and serve it hot with Almonds pistachio garnish
