Malpuas

Malpuas are rich, soft deep fried pancakes which are soaked in saffron flavoured syrup and eaten warm topped with rabdi or just chopped almonds and pistachios. Traditionally malai malpuas are made from thickened milk or rabdi but this recipe is of instant malpuas using cream. You will find it easier to cook these malpuas on a non-stick pan, smearing the malpuas with enough ghee whilst cooking.
