Kela Malpua (Banana Pancakes in Sweet Syrup)

Life is a vicious circle, at least I am following what my Mom did for us to eat ripe bananas :-P Bananas are must at our place daily but the problem is even after making my son understand it's benefits he doesn't like the fruit. Especially if the outer skin has few black spots !! Well frankly speaking neither do I like over ripe bananas. So making Banana malpuas is the solution for me. And guess what the sweet malpuas become the most wanted item on that day !

Ingredients:
2 Bananas, crush ripe bananas
1/2 cup Wheat flour
1/2 cup Flour
1/4 cup Sooji (semolina)
1/4 Condensed milk
1 cup Milk, approx
2 tbsp Raisins
1/2 cup or less, depends on your sweet level 
A big pinch of Cinnamon powder
Small pinch of salt

To make Syrup you need
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Water
3-4 Cardamoms, whole

Method:

All the dry ingredients in a bowl

 Add milk, condensed milk and make a lump free smooth batter (batter should not very thick nor thin). The batter should be free flowing. Now keep this aside for 1-2 hours.

Allow the batter to sit for minimum an hour

In between make sugar syrup of one string by mixing all ingredients under 'Syrup'. We need warm syrup while frying the malpuas. 

Single thread sugar syrup

Heat oil in a kadhai, do a small test to check if oil temperature is ready, drop a small drop it should sizzle and come up after few seconds. Pour a small ladle full of batter into the hot oil and spread quickly in circular motion.

 After few seconds flip and fry on both the sides until golden. These malpuas are extremely delicate so flip the malpuas carefully. Drain the fried malpuas and immerse in sugar syrup for 20-25 minutes. Garnish with silvered almonds and serve warm.
