Ingredients:
- Wheat flour - 1 cup
- Semolina - 1 cup
- Sugar - 1 cup
- Mava - 3 spoons
- Milk - 1 and a half cup
- Cardamom powder - half spoon
- Saffron - 10 to 15 strands
- Rose essence - 4 to 5 drops
- Rose water - 2 spoons
- Ghee - for frying
- Dried fruits - for garnishing
- Rose petals - for garnishing
- Rabri - for serving
Method:
- In a large bowl, mix wheat flour, semolina, cardamom powder, and mava. If you don’t have mava, you can add 2 spoons of milk powder instead.
- Gradually add milk and whisk well to make a smooth batter. The batter should be of pouring consistency, not too thick or thin.
- To make the sugar syrup, take a saucepan and add sugar and enough water to cover it. Bring it to a boil and cook until it reaches a one-string consistency. You can check this by taking a drop of syrup between your thumb and index finger and stretching it. It should form a single thread without breaking.
- Add saffron, rose essence, and rose water to the sugar syrup and mix well. Keep the syrup warm on low flame.
- To make the malpuas, heat ghee in a flat frying pan over medium-high flame. Drop a ladleful of batter in the center of the pan and spread it slightly. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Drain the excess ghee and dip the malpua in the warm sugar syrup for a few seconds. Remove and place on a serving plate.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and syrup.
- Garnish the malpuas with chopped dried fruits and rose petals. Serve hot or cold with rabri or thickened milk.
