Malpuas Indian gluten -free - Small donuts/sweet pancakes of Holi

The Malpua Holi celebrations and other festivals like Diwali . These little soft and golden donuts, soaked in sugar syrup, are really delicious. I rarely cook "frying" but I wanted to try the experience: well yes, world cuisine and opening go hand in hand. I was very pleasantly surprised. Next time, I will not put sugar in the dough because the sugar syrup soaking the pancake is more than enough. Traditionally prepared with wheat flour, I used, in this gluten -free , a mixture of gluten -free pastry flour, almond flour and chickpea flour : the texture is perfect, light and melting. The Malpuas are often served with rabri (thick -reded cream), but I found that they were enough for themselves. Easy to prepare, we are quickly seduced by their sweet taste and their spicy little note. This recipe is perfect for Holi , a party where colors and delicacies mingle in joy and sharing. Find out how to prepare these gluten -free Malpuas , crisp on the outside and melting inside!
