Holi's golden pancakes — fried batter discs soaked in cardamom syrup, served with rabri if you're celebrating properly.
Ingredients
Method
- Whisk maida, sooji, khoya, and water into a smooth thick batter; rest 30 minutes.
- Make one-string syrup with cardamom and saffron; keep warm.
- Pour ladles of batter into medium-hot ghee; fry until the edges curl and both sides are deep golden.
- Dunk the hot malpuas in warm syrup for a minute; remove.
- Serve with rabri and chopped nuts.
Notes
The batter resting time makes the malpua edges lacy — fresh batter fries flat and dense.
