Malpua or malpoa is a dessert or sweet dish popular in Bengal and are generally made on the occasion of ‘poush sankranti’. It can be served as an evening snack with tea and is quite easy to make. It is essentially made up of rice flour, milk and nuts and raisins. On the day of poush sankranti, it’s made with the new rice available in the villages of West Bengal. All the ladies of the family, would gather together and make malpuas or malpoas along with peethe and payesh and would distribute the sweets to their neighbours, family and friends.
