If you’re looking for healthier Holi sweets, ragi malpua is a delicious and healthy twist on the traditional dessert. This recipe is made even more indulgent with rabri. The malpuas are pan-fried and soaked in sugar syrup, then served with creamy rabri. This recipe makes it healthier by using nutrient-rich ragi flour (finger millet) and skipping the deep-frying step. Ragi is a superfood packed with calcium, iron, and fibre, making these malpuas not just delicious but also nutritious. The batter is uniquely spiced with fennel seeds and cardamom powder. Fresh cream in the batter makes this recipe quite rich and helps achieve the perfect soft yet slightly crispy texture.
