carrot malpua recipe – no soda no maida | instant healthy gajar ka malpua with step by step photo and video recipe. indian sweet recipes are a perfect recipe for most festival or celebration meals. there are some purpose based sweets that are prepared for certain festivals or seasons with a specific purpose. but these purpose-based recipes can be extended by adding extra ingredients to make them more interesting and the instant carrot malpua recipe is one such sweet recipe.
i am sure you all had relished the traditional malpua recipe and are big fans of it. there are so many different variations to the same traditional recipe which differs by place and region it is prepared. yet the set of ingredients remains fairly consistent with changes in its texture and appearance. but it can also be pleasantly experimented with by adding sweet carrot puree to it. it not only makes it colourful but also creamy and flavourful. moreover, the carrots also add an additional sweetness to the sweet which makes it more interesting and appetising. as matter of fact, there are so many vegetable variants and you can prepare the same with beetroot, potatoes, mango and any seasonal tropical fruit. do try this one of the other vegetable variants and let me know your thoughts about it.
furthermore some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the carrot malpua recipe. firstly, the recipe tastes great with red coloured carrots that are easily available in indian markets. however, it is not available here in australia, and hence i have used orange coloured as an alternative for the same taste and flavour. secondly, the consistency of the prepared batter has to be slightly thin and poured in texture. it should easily spread when poured into oil to form a thin layered malpua. finally, the frying here is pan-fried and not complete deep frying. the quantity of oil or the depth of the oil has to be proportional to the thickness of the malpua. if more oil is used, it may turn like a bun and we do not want it that way.
