Malai Poori

Malai Poori | Malai Malpua Recipe | Ras Puri

Malai poori ( मलाई पूरी ) is a sweet dessert that is very popular in North India, especially in Uttar Pradesh. It can be easily prepared at home. These fried pooris dipped in sugar syrup are delectable dessert for Festival or any other special occasion. Malai poori is prepared using all purpose flour, sooji, milk and obviously fresh malai. Malai pooris are deep fried in desi ghee and dipped in sugar syrup. They are flavoured with saffron and get a little bit sour taste from lemon juice.

The process of making the malai puri takes long and requires patience. Here, pooris of malai, sooji and maida are deep-fried separately, then dipped in sugar syrup. Malai poori can be prepared in several ways depending on preference. This dish can be made with milk, khoya or milk powder. They are also served with rabri. Rabri accentuates the flavour of this recipe. Here I am sharing the malai poori recipe using fresh malai that we collect from milk.
