  • The batter should be like dosa batter. Let this batter sit for 10 to 15 mins.
  • Meanwhile make the sugar syrup. Take sugar and water in a kadai. Bring that to a boil.
  • Boil it for 5 to 8 mins, so it turns sticky and little thick. Keep the syrup warm.
  • Now heat oil in a flat bottom frying pan. Take a small ladleful of batter and pour that in.
  • The batter will spread itself into small thin pancakes.
  • Cook this mixture on medium heat till the sides turn golden.
  • Now flip them over and cook for few more mins till it turns golden.
  • Once it is done. Drain them and drop them in the warm sugar syrup.
  • Let them stand in the syrup for a min. drain them and arrange them in a plate.
  • Now sprinkle some nuts and serve warm or at room temp.

Notes

1) When you fry malpuas, if you see them disintegrating in the oil. Then the batter is too thin, Add more wheat flour to make it thick.
2) If the batter is too thick then the malpua will be denser. So add more milk.
3) The sugar syrup doesn't need to boil for longer. if you let it cook longer then the sugar will crystallize. Let the syrup boil till it gets little thick and sticky.
