Method
-
1
Combine maida, semolina, crumbled khoya, warm milk, fennel seeds, cardamom powder and sugar.
-
2
Whisk into a smooth, moderately thick batter — similar to thick pancake batter. Rest 10 minutes.
-
3
Make the saffron syrup: boil sugar and water until one-string. Add saffron water. Keep warm.
-
4
Heat a flat tawa or pan. Add 2 tbsp ghee.
-
5
Pour a ladle of batter onto the hot tawa.
-
6
Spread gently to a round about 10 cm wide — malpua is smaller and thicker than a crepe.
-
7
Cook on medium for 3 minutes until the edges are golden and the surface is set. Flip.
-
8
Cook 2 minutes on the second side.
-
9
Slide directly from the pan into the warm saffron syrup. Soak 2 to 3 minutes.
-
10
Remove and place on a serving plate. Repeat for all the batter.
-
11
Serve warm, garnished with thinly sliced almonds and pistachios.
