  1. Hi,
    I made a huge mistake and added ghee to all the listed malpua ingredients. I noticed later that it was only for frying. Shall I start over or can it be corrected?

    1. Not to worry. Simply make the malpua like you make a dosa or chilla, but slightly thick like small pancakes. Spread oil or ghee lightly all over the pan similar to the way we make for dosa. I hope this helps.

  2. Following this recipe, how many malpuas can be made depending on size? Can you please tell?

  3. I like your recipes but 1 cup= 250 ml & you said in recipe that take 1 cup all purpose flour (maida) OR 125 grams maida.
    SO is it mean that take 250 gm maida or 125 gm maida?
    Pl explain.

    1. ingredients weigh differently depending on their density in a measuring cup. eg one cup of basmati rice will weigh 200 grams whereas one cup of maida will weight 125 grams – even though the cup used is the same (250 ml cup). 1 cup of maida when weighed separately in a weighing machine, weighs 125 grams. i give both the measurements as some readers have measuring cups and some have a weighing machine. hope this helps.

  4. Hi…i make d recipe wid whole wheat flour n suji ratio being 1:2 ..add d sugar syp in d batter itself wid sugar just disssolved in water not any string consistency….but evytym the malpuas come out very hard …is it happening due to d sugar syp being directly added to d batter or coz of suji ?? plz help dassana.5 stars

    1. hi divya, it is due to the suji – the hardness. not because of sugar syrup. i also make malpua with whole wheat flour and just sugar. these turn out soft. for the sugar syrup too, just warm it till the sugar dissolves in the water and add to the flour. skip adding suji and the malpua will be soft.

  5. Can i make the malpua a day before & keep in fridge? And day I need to serve the guest, make the sugar syrup in the morning and dip d malpua and keep it out since you say microwaving will make it chewy? But that case I cant serve them hot.

    Another questions, can I use condensed milk instead of khoya in the batter? If yes, how much quantity will equivalent to 3tbsp khoya?5 stars

    1. you can make them a day before but refrigerating makes them a bit chewy. what you can do is make the sugar syrup and keep in fridge. make the rabri and keep in fridge. but make the malpuas hot. while serving just lightly warm both sugar syrup and rabri. do not make them hot. another option to make malpuas soft is to add sugar or mashed bananas in the batter and make sweet malpuas. in this scenario, you can skip making sugar syrup entirely. addition of sugar or mashed bananas will make the malpuas soft and you can refrigerate them.

      yes you can use sweetened condensed milk. for a sweet malpua you can add about 2 tablespoons. for a less sweeter version add 1 tablespoon. but do check the taste of the batter before you fry malpuas and add more condensed milk if required. hope this helps.

  6. thanks a ton for the prompt reply 🙂 haven’t made the rabri too as in my family we like it just like that just with some grated dry fruit garnishes 🙂

    madam any other option to serve them hot then?

    1. welcome ekta. you can slightly warm them on a tawa. actually malpua are best served hot. microwaving can make them chewy. another option is to serve them with hot milk to which some sugar, cardamom powder and chopped fry fruits are added.

  7. I have made the malpua, serving is almost after 2 hours, should I just microwave it at the time of serving?? As you mentioned am just keeping them out5 stars

  8. I left the batter overnight and next day I prepared malpua. But I felt a sour taste even with sugar syrup.
    Is it due to curd?4 stars

    1. if the batter is fermented, sour taste will be felt. looks like the batter got fermented too much. for a fermented malpua batter, there is some sourness but not too much.

  9. Thanks a lot for the lovely recipe but does the pancake version of malpua have outside crunches like that of the fried ones and can i add fried peanuts and grated coconut as well to the batter?5 stars
