Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup All Purpose flour

  • 1 Tsp Confectioner's sugar(powdered sugar)
  • Pinch of salt to balance the flavour
  • ½ Tsp Baking powder

  • 1 Cup Sugar(I used organic cane sugar)

Method
 

  1. Take a big mixing bowl.
  2. Mix grated khoya and milk nicely.Make sure it doesn't have any lump.
  3. Add all Purpose flour ,sugar ,salt ,and baking powder.Mix it very nicely.It should be smooth and flowy.

  5. Take a cast iron pan /heavy bottomed Pan .
  6. Add Ghee for frying.
  7. Take one ladle of batter and pour it slowly in the centre of the pan .
  8. Your flame should be low at this time .
  9. Cook it till the sides look crispy ,and pink.Flip it and fry it on low flame as well.
  10. Frying Maal Pua requires lot of patience ,so will not suggest you if you don't have enough time .Rushing while frying gives you low quality Maal Pua.
  11. After frying remove it with the help of a slotted spoon . Keep in in a plate . Paper towel is not required ,since we want our Maal Pua to have the soft centre.
  12. Making of Sugar Syrup.

  14. Add saffron soaked water to it .
  15. Add Green Cardamom Powder to it .
