mallipaletti
Mallipaletti is a traditional Indian sweet made from a mixture of gram flour (besan), sugar, and ghee. The name "mallipaletti" translates to "sweet balls" in Telugu, reflecting its appearance and texture. The sweet is typically prepared during festivals and special occasions, such as Diwali, Holi, and weddings. The process involves mixing the ingredients to form a dough, which is then rolled into small balls and deep-fried until golden brown. Mallipaletti is known for its crispy exterior and soft, sweet interior. It is often served with a side of ghee or milk, and its popularity extends beyond Telugu-speaking regions, with variations found in other parts of India. The sweet is not only a culinary delight but also a cultural symbol, representing the sweetness and warmth of Indian festivals.
