Ingredients list for Moong Dal Malpua

1 cup Split skinless green gram (dhuli moong dal) roasted and ground to a fine po
1/2 cup Refined flour (maida)
a pinch Baking powder
1 cup Milk
1 cup Sugar
a few Saffron strands
to deep fry Ghee
as required Rabdi
for garnish Almond slivers
for garnish Blanched pistachios slivers
for garnish Dried rose petals
for garnish Silver varq

Method

Take green gram flour in a mixing bowl, add refined flour, baking powder and milk and whisk into a smooth batter. Rest the batter for 10-15 minutes.
Take sugar in a non-stick pan, add ½ cup water and saffron and cook, stirring occasionally, till sugar dissolves and cook further till the syrup reaches 1 string consistency. Keep the syrup warm.
Heat ghee in a shallow pan, pour a ladleful of batter, do not spread, and shallow-fry for 2 minutes. Agitate some hot ghee over it and turn over. When both sides are evenly done, drain and immerse in sugar syrup for some time. Use the remaining batter similarly.
Drain the malpuas from the sugar syrup and place them on a serving plate, drizzle rabdi over them, garnish with almonds, pistachios, dried rose petals and silver varq and serve warm.
