Malpua Batter
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the wholewheat flour, milk powder, baking soda, fennel, and cardamom powder.
Whisk in the yogurt and water to make a thick lump-free batter. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
Heat 3 tbsp ghee in a frying pan. Add a small ladle full of batter to the ghee and cook on moderate heat till its light golden brown on both sides.
Remove from heat and dip it in the hot jaggery syrup for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with slivers of pistachio and almonds. For a touch of extra decadence, serve with rabri. Enjoy!
Jaggery Syrup
Heat the jaggery powder and water in a small saucepan for 7-8 minutes, until the syrup just barely starts to thicken. Keep the syrup warm by placing the saucepan atop a pan of hot water.
