MY MOTHER'S BANANA MALPUA

This is what my mother used 2 make when there were a few over-ripe bananas at home n no one wud eat them. I kind of remember d recipe. These can be had by itself or with rabri.

Ingredients-

Very ripe bananas
Maida
Milk
Sugar
Salt
Fennel seeds
Baking pwd
Ghee

Method-

* Make a pulp of the bananas.
* Make a smooth batter with maida, pinch of baking pwd, salt, banana pulp, milk, yoghurt and water.
* Make sure there are no lumps. Cover and leave aside for an hour or more for a bit of fermentation.
* Prepare sugar syrup seasoned with cardamom.
* Sprinkle a little rosewater, saffron or essence, if you want. Keep the syrup warm, to facilitate easy ingress into the malpua and to keep it soft and succulent.
* Whisk the batter, adding water if required, to get a smooth batter of pouring consistency.
* Deep-fry the pancake in pure ghee till nice and brown, soft and cooked, not too crisp.
* Take out the fried pancakes, drain excess ghee, and dip them in the hot sugar syrup.
ENJOY!!
