Introduction: Bajra Malpua is a delightful Indian dessert made from pearl millet flour, sweetened with sugar or jaggery, and flavored with cardamom. These sweet pancakes are perfect for festive occasions or as a special treat.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Bajra (pearl millet) flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup jaggery, grated (or sugar)
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
• A pinch of salt
• Ghee or oil (for frying)
• Chopped nuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine bajra flour, whole wheat flour, and a pinch of salt.
   • Gradually add milk and mix to form a smooth batter.
   • Add grated jaggery (or sugar) and cardamom powder. Mix well until the jaggery dissolves.
   • Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes.
2. Frying the Malpuas:
   • Heat ghee or oil in a shallow frying pan over medium heat.
   • Pour a small ladleful of batter into the hot ghee or oil and spread it slightly to form a small pancake.
   • Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
   • Remove and drain on paper towels.
3. Serving:
   • Serve hot bajra malpuas garnished with chopped nuts if desired.

Tips:

• Ensure the batter is of pouring consistency; adjust with more milk or water if needed.
• You can soak the fried malpuas in a sugar syrup flavored with saffron and cardamom for a richer taste.
