Mawa Rajgira Malpua is a sweet traditional Indian dessert made with amaranth flour (rajgira flour), mawa (milk solids), ghee, and sugar. It is a popular dish during festivals, and it’s a variation of the traditional Malpua, which is made with wheat flour. The addition of mawa (milk solids) provides a rich and creamy texture to the malpua, while the amaranth flour adds a unique nutty flavor.
Here is a basic recipe for making Mawa Rajgira Malpua:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Rajgira flour (amaranth flour)
- 1/2 cup grated mawa (milk solids)
- 1/4 cup ghee
- 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/2 cup water
