Malpuas Stuffed With Rabadi by DK on Nov 15, 2007

Malpua with Rabadi

The name Malpua brings sweet memories.Although there are umpteenth regional variations and versions, original and authentic Malpua is from Bihar. It is an Indian Pancake made with maida( flour), mashed banana,milk,coconut,curds and cardamom powder, ( Do correct me if its otherwise ) which is deep fried in ghee and soaked in sugar syrup ( SLURP! ). It is then served with Kheer!

I have a Tarla Dalal's version which I love and which I have posted here today with v little modification of mine ( as usual trying hard to minimize the fat!), That along with another Bihari sweet and that which is my all time fav - Rabadi ! Stuffed Malpuas with Rabadi is my entry to Sangeeta's RCI - Bihar and also to Hima's WYF-sweet since Rabadi is my fav sweet.

  • Cook time:
  • Prep time:
  • Serves: 4 people
Ingredients
  • For the Malpuas
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/2 cup Jaggery, grated
  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • Ghee for cooking ( can use butter - I was more miserly and used Butter spray!)
  • 1 cup warm water
  • For Rabadi
  • 1 cup reduced fat milk
  • 1 cup Low fat Paneer ( I had made paneer with part skim milk )
  • 1/2 cup fat free condensed milk ( you can use sweetened condensed milk too )
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • a few strands saffron
  • 1 tsp Ghee
  • 1 tbsp of rose water
Method
1.

For the Malpuas
Dissolve the jaggery in 1 cup warm water and mix till it dissolves. Remove dirt/scum if any.

2.

Once dissolved , add it to the dry ingredients.

3.

Mix it well till well combined.

4.

Heat a non stick pan, grease it with ghee and pour out to make small pancakes.

5.

Turn it around after 3-4 min - till golden brown.

6.

For the Rabadi.
Mix all the ingredients together in a heavy bottomed pan

7. and simmer for 10-15 min.
8.

Its done when it starts thickening and comes together into one mass.

Now Last step is to layer the rabadi between the malpuas and serve it hot. Garnish it with pista or any other nuts of your choosing. All done for a lip smacking dessert ( ya, although I know its taken for breakfast in Bihar! ). OK while U r busy admiring my photo, lemme settle down with a piece of mine.. :-) Malpua with Rabadi

Malpua is basically a dessert from the eastern part of India...prepared in the households of Orissa and Bengal....There is a slight variation though, in the preparation, in these two states..but the end product is absolutely wonderful on the taste bud...!

thats great and very low fat version of malpuas i have seen here, otherwise even thinking of malpuas gives my husband a heart attack. his mom would beat in eggs and all purpore flour and deep fry them and then dip into sugar syrup. that too with rabdi...it is really a heart attack on a platter. :roll: :roll: this one looks great. thanks. :mrgreen: :wink:

By Uma Sekhar on Apr 12, 2010
