Baked Vermicelli Malpua Recipe

Step 1: To begin making Baked Vermicelli Malpua Recipe, cook the vermicelli with required amount of water

Step 2: I used very fine roasted wheat vermicelli

Step 3: Drain the excess water and allow the vermicelli to cool down

Step 4: Meanwhile in a saucepan, make the sugar syrup by heating the sugar and water with 2 cardamom pods

Step 5: Boil it till it becomes slightly thick and sticky, I did not follow any string consistency here

Step 6: 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

Step 7: Mix everything, add milk slowly and form a thick batter

Step 8: Let the batter stay in room temperature for an hour

Step 9: Grease a baking tray with oil and ghee, pour the batter with the help of a ladle, keeping space between each portion

Step 10: Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees C for 15 minutes

Step 11: I baked in a microwave convection oven

Step 12: You have to check with the time and temperature of your oven and keep a close eye on the baking malpua

Step 13: Once baked, dip each malpua in sugar syrup and take it out

Step 14: You can also drizzle the sugar syrup on the top if you prefer less sugar like me

Step 15: Garnish with some chopped pistachios and serve them warm

Step 16: 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
