1. 1

   Pan, mix 2 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar and boil. The syrup is ready when you get a single-thread consistency. The way to test this is to stir the syrup with a spoon, lift the spoon out and carefully touch the syrup on it with your index finger.

2. 2

   Press your index finger and thumb together and gently pull apart. The sugar will stretch to form a single 'thread'. If this happens the syrup is ready. If not keep boiling and test occasionally till done.

3. 3

   When the syrup is ready add the cardamom powder and mix well. Keep the syrup aside to use later.

4. 4

   In a large mixing bowl, blend the dry milk, flour,funnel seed and baking powder together to form a smooth batter.

5. 5

   While you are mixing the batter, heat enough oil in a deep frying pan to cook the malpuas.

6. 6

   When the oil is hot, use a ladle to gently pour the batter into the oil to form circles about 4" in diameter.

7. 7

   Cook till golden brown. Remove from the oil and put directly into the sugar syrup. Remove after 2-3 minutes and drain on a wire rack with a plate underneath to catch the dripping syrup.and garnish with slivered nuts.
