Instant Malpua recipe, Malpua rabdi

Malpua rabdi with step by step pictures, a popular Indian sweet, ghee fried pancakes served with chilled thickened milk, topped with nuts. I have posted Malpua rabdi few back for holi festival. Recently i tried an Instant Malpua using Gulab jamun mix. Generally we make Gulab jamuns using the instant mix, but after making pakoras i thought will try some sweets out of it too. I made gajar ka halwa using gulab jamun mix for a cookery demo here for the promotion of a popular brand. I wanted to try out Malpua using Instant gulab jamun mix and it turned out pretty good. I had no plans of making rabdi, but finally made Kesar rabdi and made it malpua rabdi. If are looking for some easy recipes for Holi festival ,then this instant malpua rabdi is a must try one.

I am not posting the Kesar rabdi recipe here as i have made a separate post already. . So please check the link mentioned in the Ingredients table to find the recipe of Kesar Rabdi. Also the time mentioned is only for making instant malpuas.

Method :

• In a wide bowl add the instant gulab jamun mix, maida, sugar, cardamom powder and fennel powder. 
• If you don't have fennel powder, you can add crushed fennel seeds.
• Add water little by little and make it into a fluffy idli batter consistency. 
• Let the sugar completely dissolve.
• You can start making the malpua immediately.
• Heat ghee in a pan for deep frying.
• Once it is hot, bring it to a medium flame. 
• Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan in batches.
• Like how we do the pancakes | adirasam. 
• Once one side is done, gently flip on to the next side using a ladle and a spoon.
• The malpaus will be very soft, so do it gently. 
• Once done on both sides, gently press it with a spoon to remove the excess oil.
• Drain in a kitchen towel.
• Remove this for rest of the batter.
• Make the rabdi and keep it chilled.
• Arrange the malpuas in a plate.
• Just before serving, pour the rabdi over the malpuas.
• Garnish with finely chopped almonds and pistachios.

Notes:

1. Instead of using maida, you can use whole wheat flour also.
2. If don't want ghee fried malpuas, you can make it in mini uttapam pan too. 
3. Malpuas made with instant gulab mix gives a nice fluffy texture.
