1 and ½ cup Sugar-1 and ½ cup( 1 cup for syrup and other ½ cups for the batter)
1cupAllpurpose flour
1/4tbspbaking soda
1/4tbspfunnel seeds
1cupoil or ghee
2cupswater
Instructions
Extraction of the pulps
Take a tal/palm and remove the upper portion and take out the skin.( it mustbe fully ripe)
With the help of a grater, take out the pulps, from the three big seeds of the palm. You should have great patience to complete this stage. Now collect the pulps and keep them in a bowl.
To make a sugar syrup
Take a big vessel and put it in the flame, and pour 2 cups of water, 2cardamoms, and 1 cup of sugar.
Allow them to boil for 10-12 minutes
Now the quantity of the water is reduced to one cup, and the syrup also becomes a little thick, switch off the flame.
To make a batter
Add 1 cup of maida/all-purpose flour to a mixing bowl
1/4th cup of suji
Add ½ cup of rice flour
Add ½ cup of sugar
Then pour ½ cup of milk
Now add the palm pulp.
Mix them and add 1/4th tbsp baking soda.
Mix them to make a little tight batter.
To fry and dip the malpua into the sugar syrup
Now heat oil in a frying pan
With the help of a big spoon take some portion of the batter and pour itinto the hot oil. (First time you pour 1 or 2 to check the hotness of the oil.Next stage onwards you can make more at a time. Idea is to keep in high flame initially, then reduced to low-medium)
Fry both the sides well and then take out from the oil and put them into sugar syrup for 3-4 minutes, and then take them out from the syrup and keep them on a serving plate.
The same way makes the next stage by pouring more malpua at a time.
