Malpua

Cooking Time Required: 20-25 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 overripe banana 
• 1/2 cup condensed milk 
• 2 tsp cream 
• 1 tsp fennel (pana mahuri)
• oil for frying
• pinch of baking powder
• 1/2 cup sugar ( as per taste  )
• milk required to get desired consistency

Preparation: Add milk, condensed milk and baking powder to the flour. Make a semi-thick paste. Allow to stand for 15 mins.

Mash the banana and add to the flour paste along with the paana mahuri.

Cooking: Heat oil in a deep wok for frying. Put spoonfuls of batter into the oil. Fry on both sides till cooked.

[Or pan fry them just as I do to reduce the number of calories consumed. They are not crispy at the edges but taste equally delicious. ]

Heat 1 cup of water. Add the sugar . Bring to a boil and allow to simmer till it turns into a light sugar syrup( do not make it very thick ).

Remove the fried malpuas from the wok and add to the sugar syrup. Soak for 10 mins.

Serve hot.
