MALPUA
Ingredients :
1 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups wheat flour
2 tbsp rice flour
Milk (1/2 cup)
Water (1/2 cup)

Preparation :
Make a batter of all of these dry ingredients , using 1/2 milk and 1/2 hot water till it is thick and of pouring consistency, similar to pancake or dosa batter. And whip till smooth. Keep aside and allow it to rise for about two hours.

Heat oil on a medium flame. Use a shallow wok. Drop large ladlefuls into the oil to form circles of 6-8 inches. Typically the dough will sink and line the bottom of the karhai and rise up in the shape of a disc. Fry till golden. Drain and pat off the oil. Serve with cream or with some vegetable. Serves five.
