RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Malpua:

• 1 cup full fat milk warm or warm fresh cream
• 1/2 cup plain flour
• 1 teaspoon yellow food color (optional)
• 1/2 cup crumbled, mawa
• Ghee/oil for frying

• 3-4 green cardamom pods, crushed

» For Garnish //

» For Serving (Optional)//

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» For Batter //

1. Add flour, mawa, food color and milk to a mixing bowl.
2. Whisk well till it forms a smooth runny batter as shown in the video.

» For sugar syrup (chashni) //

1. Add sugar, water, saffron strands and cardamom to a pot.
2. Stir well and boil till it reaches 1 string consistency or simply make a sticky syrup. Keep aside.

» For Frying //

1. Heat ghee/oil in a pan or griddle over medium heat.
2. Lower the heat and pour small cup of batter in the center of pan. The batter would spread a little bit, and that's exactly what we want.
3. Deep-fry until cooked. Flip the malpua when it is cooked from one side. Let it fry from the other side too.
4. Fry malpuas on a medium heat till they are crisp and golden from both sides. You might need to flip them a couple of times.
5. Drain the malpua from the oil. Fry all the malpuas and drain them on an absorbent paper lined plate. Fry all the malpuas until all the batter is used up.

» Soaking in sugar syrup (chashni) //

1. Warm the sugar syrup again, if it is cold. Now, dip the fried malpua one by one in sugar syrup and soak for about 30 seconds.
2. Drain it from the syrup and let the excess syrup drip. Sweeten all the malpuas same way.

» Servring garnish //

1. Immediately remove them and arrange on a serving plate.
2. Top with pistachio and rose petals. You can also have them like that, but I personally like to serve them with whipped cream.

» To Assemble //

1. Slather whipped cream of each layer and top with second layer and repeat until you run out of crepes.
2. Frost the top layer with whipping cream and decorate with fresh strawberries.
3. Enjoy malpua warm or at room temperature.

RECIPE NOTES

1. You can also add ½ tsp baking powder to the batter.
