Malpua

Malpua is an Indian style pancake prepared with maida and well reduced milk batter, later this batter goes for deep frying. Once fried, these malpuas will take a sugar syrup bath before serving along with rabri, an another Indian sweet prepred with milk.I always want to make malpuas at home especially during Diwali, but unfortunately i havent tried my hands in preparing them at home. Thanks  to Preeti of Simply Tadka for suggesting  this beautiful sweet for this month's Sweet Fantasy Club where we can learn many sweets and desserts. Actually this sweet club is open to whoever have sweet tooth and love to learn many different variety of sweets and desserts.Every month, the members of this group cook two different sweets or desserts and blogs about it on their blogs. One of the sweet challenged in the group goes for Indian sweets and the second one goes for International or fusion desserts, seriously i dont want to miss this chance to learn different sweets and joined the group immediately.

After Rajbhog, this month i learned to make malpuas at home. Trust me this sweet fried pancakes are dangerously addictive, if you make them at home am sure you wont stop just with one. I enjoyed thoroughly making these cuties at home. Once again thanks Preeti, for pulling me to make malpuas finally at home.

Boil the milk in heavy bottomed pan until it gets reduced to a thick consistency.

Let the milk cool completely. Add the flour and keep for atleast for two hours in room temperature.

The batter should be in pouring consistency.

Keep aside 2tablespoon of sugar, with the remaining sugar make a sugar syrup as one string consistency.

Dissolve the saffron strands in warm milk, add it to the sugar syrup.

Heat enough oil or ghee in a wide kadai, once the oil gets hot, pour a small ladle of batter into the oil to form a pancake.

Pour the hot oil or ghee over it and flip it to cook on other.

When both gets well cooked, remove the malpuas from the oil,drain the oil and drop them in already prepared sugar syrup.

While serving top it with some chopped nuts and serve warm/

Notes:
If the batter is thick add some milk.

U can serve malpuas with rabri but i didnt went for rabri.
