Vegan Malpua is a delightful Indian sweet dish made with flour, coconut, and sugar, offering a perfect blend of flavors and textures. This easy-to-make vegan version is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making it a perfect brunch treat.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 1 cup
• Rice flour - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut milk - 1/2 cup
• Fresh grated coconut - 1/4 cup
• Sugar - 1/4 cup
• Cardamom powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Water - 1/4 cup (or as needed)
• Oil - for frying
• Chopped nuts (cashews, almonds) - 2 tablespoons (optional)
• Maple syrup or agave nectar - for drizzling (optional)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, grated coconut, sugar, cardamom powder, and baking powder.
2. Add the coconut milk and mix well to form a smooth batter. If the batter is too thick, add water gradually until you achieve a pourable consistency.
3. Heat a pan or skillet over medium heat and add oil for frying.
4. Once the oil is hot, pour a ladleful of the batter into the pan, spreading it into a round shape. Fry until golden brown on one side, then flip and fry the other side until golden.
5. Remove the malpua from the pan and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup or agave nectar, and topped with chopped nuts if desired.
