Method for Rabdi:
- First lets prepare Rabdi. Heat a pan and add milk. Keep stirring the milk in high flame till it starts boiling. Once the milk starts boiling, keep the flame medium and stir occasionally till the milk reduces to 1/2 of the quantity. Soak the saffron threads in a tablespoon of milk and keep it aside.
- Keep the flame low and add the sugar, saffron milk and stir well. Add chopped almonds and pistachios and remove the rabri from flame. Do not make the rabri very thick. Now our rabri is ready
Method for making Malpua Batter:
- First in a sauce pan, add 2 cups of milk. Bring the milk to boil. Keep the flame in medium and boil the milk till it reduces to 1.5 cups of milk. Switch off the flame. Add saffron strands and set this milk aside. We need warm milk. So let this milk cool down for sometime
- This milk is used to make the Malpua batter. We can also use warm water in place of this boiled and warm milk. But milk would add more taste to the Malpua compared to water. But since we are already preparing rabdi, this might be little complicating but believe me this boiled milk adds a nice flavor to the fried malpua
- In a mixing bowl, take khoya, add half of the boiled and warm milk and mix thoroughly without any lumps
- Next, add cardamom powder, fennel powder, sugar and salt and stir well
- Add 1/2 cup of maida to the khoya mixture and add milk little by little and stir well
- Once blended, add another cup of maida and pour the remaining milk and stir nicely till we get batter like bajji batter consistency. If the milk is not enough, we can adjust with warm water
- Set the Malpua batter aside till the sugar syrup is ready

Method for making Malpua:

- When the ghee is hot enough, take a small ladle full of batter or 1/2 of big ladle and pour in the oil

- Deep fry the Malpuas' till golden brown on both the sides
- Take out the fried Malpua and put it in the sugar syrup. Let it soak in sugar syrup for 1/2 minute and then flip it and let it sit for another 1/2 minute
- Take out these sugar syrup dipped Malpua and place it in serving tray
