Instruction
- Prepare the sugar syrup by dissolving the sugar in water and letting it to boil. When it boils, switch the flame off and allow to cool completely.
- In a bowl, mix together all purpose flour, cocoa powder, milk powder, sugar and baking soda.
- To this mixture, whisk in the egg, vanilla essence and milk.
- Whisk thoroughly to form a smooth batter without any lumps.
- Heat ghee in a pan to shallow fry the malpuas.
- Pour in a scoop of the batter to form a small circle, of size as you wish.
- Once one side is done, flip it over to cook the other side too.
- Once done, drain excess ghee, if any by using paper towels. Allow to cool.
- For making the orange caramel, mix water and sugar in a heavy bottomed pan.
- In low flame, keep stirring until all the sugar is dissolved.
- Once sugar is dissolved, turn the flame to high and let it boil, without stirring.
- Once in a while, swirl the pan. The syrup turns to amber color in almost 8 minutes or so. Keep waiting and swirling, do not stir.
- Once it changes the color, lower the flame, and carefully add the orange juice and orange zest, little by little. The solution will bubble vigorously.
- Keep stirring until the solution becomes smooth and any crystals formed melt.
- Allow the solution to cool completely.
- Now soak the malpuas in sugar syrup for 1-2 minutes. And pour the orange caramel just before serving.
- Garnish with chopped almonds or pistachios.
- Chocolate malpuas taste best when chilled!! Do try them..:)
