Malpua has been an underrated sweet in India for a long time. It is mainly made from barley and honey, but the dish has different versions in various parts of the country. Famously, you can stumble upon a delicious bite of the sweet in Odisha, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Uttarakhand.

It is commonly made by crushing ripe bananas and mixing them with flour, water, or milk. Some regions also add jaggery to the mix to make the batter extra sweet. This batter is then fried in oil or ghee until the flat, pancake-like discs become golden brown on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.

In some parts of India, the dish is served with rabri or kheer. Making the whole set an explosion of sweetness in the mouth.?
