Recipe
1
In a wide pan, boil the 2 cups of full-fat milk on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to one-third to make the thick rabri.
2
Stir sugar, a pinch of cardamom powder, and saffron into the reduced rabri, then set aside warm.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, mashed banana, sugar, fennel seeds, and cardamom powder.
4
Gradually whisk in the milk to form a smooth, pouring consistency batter without any lumps.
5
Heat ghee in a shallow frying pan over medium-high heat.
6
Ladle small portions of the batter into the hot ghee and fry until both sides turn golden brown and crisp at the edges.
7
Remove the fried malpuas and immediately soak them in a warm sugar syrup for a minute if extra sweetness is desired.
8
Serve the warm malpuas generously topped with the prepared warm rabri and garnished with chopped pistachios.
