Malpura for Radharani

I have heard that Malpura is one of Srimati Radharani's favourite sweets. It is made every year at the Durban temple for Radharani's pleasure on Her appearance day. Of course, spoiling Srimati Radharani with Her favourite sweet doesn't have to be a yearly event :) Here's a recipe...

Malpura

"All glories to Radharani! She is so dear to Krsna. Everyone is trying to love Krsna, but Krsna is trying to love Radha. Just imagine how great She is? Krsna prema is so valuable, but Krsna is after Radharani. She is so great. We have to offer Her our respects". (Srila Prabhupada)
