Malpuri is a very tasty sweet recipe of Mangalore Udupi. It is prepared using maida but to make it a healthy version I have used wheat flour instead of maida. I have prepared by using wheat flour, sugar, cardamom. It is prepared by shallow frying. Malpuri is soft and juicy inside but crispy towards the edges.

Steps

15 min

1

Take wheat flour, powdered sugar and elaichi powder in a wide bowl. Add a pinch of yellow food colour. I have added a pinch of turmeric.
2

Add required water and prepare a thick batter. It requires around 1 cup water. Make sure there are no lumps and should be of thick dosa batter consistency. Then rest the batter for 45 mins to 1 hour.
3

After an hour the batter becomes fluffy. Then heat oil in a wide pan for shallow frying. You can use flat frying pan. I have used little oil in a flat pan which is sufficient as shown in pic below.
4

When the oil becomes hot reduce the flame between low and medium. Take a small ladle full of batter and pour it in the oil. Do not spread.
5

Cook until edges are brown. Cook for more time to make it more crispy. Once edges turn brown, flip and cook on the other side by pressing.
6

After it gets cooked on both sides, remove it with help of dotted spatula and take a flat spatula and place it above Malpuri. Now press it so that the excess oil is removed. This is very important step do not skip it. Then finally remove it on a stainer.

Finish making all malpuris in this method. Enjoy the malpuri which will be crispy at edges and soft in the centre.
