In my childhood, I often found my mother was preparing this dish with all her attention as my father and the rest of us were very fond of this sweet. Now my mother is no more and I also not have that enthusiasm to make this dish so often. I am giving you the recipe so that you can try.
Ingredients: Milk 1/2 litre, sugar 3 cups, baking powder 1/2 tspspoon, Ghee or white oil 200 gms, Mace of Javatri 1/4 tspspoon, water 2 cups, flour 1 cup, Aniseeds/Saunf/Mouri 2 tablespoons.
Method: Boil the mild and slightly thicken it. Remove and keep it aside to cool. Then sieve the flour and baking powder together and mix it with the thickened milk. Add mace and aniseeds to the mixture. Now boil the sugar and water in a big pan and make a thick syrup. Heat the ghee in a thick bottomed pan and when it starts smoking, deep fry a dessertspoon of the mixture till golden brown. Remove it from the ghee and soak it in the hot sugar syrup. Fry the whole mixture a dessertspoon at a time. Then soak the fried Malpoas in sugar syrup for 2-3 hours till cool and soft. Serve them in a flat dish and decorate with rose petals, shredded almonds and raisins.
