Step 1: Gather Ingredients

Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients ready. Here's what you'll need:

• For the Maalpua

  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 4 tbsp sooji (semolina)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1/2 tsp crushed fennel seeds

• For the Sugar Syrup

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • A pinch of saffron (optional)

Step 2: Prepare the Sugar Syrup

1. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water.
2. Heat the mixture over medium flame, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Optionally, add a pinch of saffron for flavor and color.
4. Once the syrup reaches a one-string consistency, remove it from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Maalpua Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour and sooji.
2. Gradually add milk and water to the mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

4. Mix well until you have a smooth and thick batter. Let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4: Fry the Maalpua

1. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, spoon a portion of the batter into the oil, creating small round shapes.
3. Fry until the Maalpua turns golden brown on both sides. Ensure they are cooked through.
4. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 5: Soak in Sugar Syrup

1. Take the fried Maalpua and dip them into the warm sugar syrup.
2. Let them soak for a few seconds, allowing the syrup to absorb.
