Malpua

Malpua, or sometimes shortened to pua, is a sweetened breakfast served with morning tea or as a snack with afternoon tea or as a dessert originating from the East Indian subcontinent, popular in Bhutan, India, and Nepal. Barley was the most prolific grain eaten by the Aryans of the Vedic period. One preparation was a sweet cake called malpua, where barley flour was either fried in ghee or boiled in water, and then dipped in honey. Malpua preserves both the name and the essentials of this preparation. Malpua is popular in Bangladesh, Odisha, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra and Nepal where it is served during festivals along with other sweets.
