Bhaja Malpua

by Shyamali Sinha

This Bhaja Malpua or Malpoa recipe is very close to my heart. The specialty of the dish is that  I have lots of childhood memories with it. These Malpuas staples at my mom’s ( read Maa) kitchen and nearly always make an appearance on Janmasthami ( Birthday of Lord Krishna)  or Poush Parbon( Bengali harvest festival).   Deep fried pancakes made of  Suji (semolina), Maida ( all purpose flour) and Sugar, comes together easily and taste delicious.It could be a favorite addition to your list of Malpua recipes you love.

Here is my Bhaja Malpua recipe, if you love this recipe and want to try another Malpua recipe, you can try my Bengali SujirMalpua/ Malpoa.
