Tastes exactly like the peda we used to get in Varanasi as kids. Not overly sweet, and the texture is spot on. Ordered a second box within the week.

About Malpua
Malpua is a traditional Indian mithai loved for its golden, lace-crisp edges, soft centre, and delicious sweetness from sugar syrup. Prepared with refined wheat flour, full-cream milk, khoya and pure desi ghee, this classic sweet develops a rich flavour and a delicate texture through slow, careful cooking.Enjoy the traditional taste of Malpua from Shri Annapurna Sweets. Made with milk, khoya, aromatic green cardamom and fennel, each malpua is fried in desi ghee and briefly soaked in sugar syrup for a satisfying balance of crisp edges and a soft, syrup-soaked centre. Finished with slivers of pistachio and almonds, it is a delightful choice for festive celebrations, family gatherings, gifting or enjoying after meals.
Malpua is a fried, pancake-style sweet soaked in sugar syrup. Ours sits in our Banarasi Sweets collection. It is a fresh sweet with a short shelf life of 3 days, refrigerated.

How It's Made
The batter is rested overnight — flour, full-cream milk and hand-grated khoya, whisked with green cardamom and a little fennel, then left to ferment slowly so the malpua fries up light instead of dense. Each one is poured by ladle into shallow desi ghee and never spread by hand; a batter of the right consistency spreads on its own into that thin, lace-like rim. It fries on a low flame until the edge turns amber and crisp, then goes straight into warm one-string chashni for a few seconds only — long enough to sweeten it through, short enough to keep the centre soft. Slivered pista and badam go on last, by hand, just before the box is sealed.

Storage Instructions
Refrigerate on arrival in an airtight container and consume within the shelf life mentioned on the pack. Warm for 20–30 seconds before serving — malpua is at its best just short of hot, when the syrup loosens and the edges crisp up again. Do not freeze, as the syrup separates on thawing.

Ordered for a family function, arrived well packed and fresh. Everyone asked where I got it from. Will reorder for Diwali.
Good taste, slightly sweeter than I expected but still very good quality. Delivery was quick, within 3 days.
