Whole Wheat Malpua recipe | Atte ka malpua

Pua or malpua is one of my favourite sweet dish, which is being served to us for generations. Malpua / pua is a dessert famous across India, especially in the northern, easter region. In Bihar it is cooked specially in Holi festival. Various versions of malpua are also relished during the festival of Holi and Diwali in India. Traditionally, these are fried pancakes, made using a fermented batter of all-purpose flour and milk (even evaporated milk, or milk solids), and flavouring of fennel seeds, saffron or cardamom powder. Once fried, these are then dipped in sugar syrup and served hot or cold.

My grandmother used to cook milk pua which was either dipped into milk or sugar syrup, but today I am preparing the instant version of pua. Here I am using wholewheat flour, demerara sugar, and clarified butter just to make it more healthy.

The term mal is being used due to mawa and dry fruits being used in this recipe. Let’s learn step by step process to prepare this recipe.
