Total Time: 50 minutes

Cuisine: Indian

Ingredients:

  • wheat flour
  • ghee
  • paneer
  • fennel seeds (saunf)
  • milk
  • pistachios
  • baking soda
  • sugar
  • semiya (vermicelli)
  • cardamom powder (elaichi)
  • gulab jamun mix
  • milk powder
  • water approximately
  • sunflower oil

Instructions:

  • To begin making Baked Vermicelli Malpua Recipe, cook the vermicelli with required amount of water
  • I used very fine roasted wheat vermicelli
  • Drain the excess water and allow the vermicelli to cool down
  • Meanwhile in a saucepan, make the sugar syrup by heating the sugar and water with 2 cardamom pods
  • Boil it till it becomes slightly thick and sticky, I did not follow any string consistency here
  • Take the vermicelli, lightly mash it with your hand, add cottage cheese mash well, milk powder, gulab jamun mix, fennel seeds, cardamom powder and baking soda
  • Mix everything, add milk slowly and form a thick batter
  • Let the batter stay in room temperature for an hour
  • Grease a baking tray with oil and ghee, pour the batter with the help of a ladle, keeping space between each portion
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees C for 15 minutes
  • I baked in a microwave convection oven
  • You have to check with the time and temperature of your oven and keep a close eye on the baking malpua
  • Once baked, dip each malpua in sugar syrup and take it out
  • You can also drizzle the sugar syrup on the top if you prefer less sugar like me
  • Garnish with some chopped pistachios and serve them warm
  • Serve Baked Vermicelli Malpua Recipe as a dessert after your Holi meal, or during snack time to your guests, along with Dahi Vada and Thandai
