How to make Gud Malpua Recipe
- Step 1
Add jaggery to a mixing bowl and pour hot water over it. Mix well until the jaggery dissolves completely. Set it aside to cool slightly.

In another mixing bowl, combine rice flour, refined flour, desiccated coconut, cardamom powder, and crushed fennel seeds.
- Step 3
Strain the jaggery water into the dry ingredients and mix well. Add lukewarm water gradually to form a smooth batter.
