Instructions

For the Malpua Batter
In a wide bowl, combine whole wheat flour, curd, sugar, salt, baking soda and mix well.
Add about ¼ cup water and mix well. Now add water gradually and mix well till it forms a smooth flowing batter. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.
Set aside for 15-20 minutes.
For the Sugar Syrup
To prepare sugar syrup, add sugar and water in a pan and allow the sugar to melt. Simmer the sugar syrup for 10-12 minutes on low to medium flame.
You should have a one string consistency sugar syrup.
Add cardamom powder and turn off heat. Set aside.
Preparing Malpuas
Heat ghee in a broad thick bottomed pan on low to medium flame.
Pour a small ladle full of batter in the centre of the pan without spreading it. The batter will spread on its own.
Do not try to touch the malpua till it starts to turn golden along the edges. It will slowly get immersed in the ghee and cook on medium flame till the sides are golden brown.
Once sides become golden brown, flip it over and cook for another 2-3 minutes or till it turns golden brown.
With the help of a slotted spoon, drain the Malpua and place it in the sugar syrup immediately. Fully immerse the Malpua in the sugar syrup for half a minute. Make other malpuas in the same manner.
Remove the malpua from the sugar syrup and then place it on a serving plate. Sprinkle sliced nuts over the malpuas.
