Method

Boil the milk until it reduces to half of its original volume.
Roast the semolina until light brown.
Mix the all-purpose flour and milk into the toasted semolina to make a batter. It should be smooth and lump-free.
Heat the ghee in a skillet.
Use a circular pouring motion to pour batter in the pan and make a small pancake.
Keep turning over. Take care that it does not become crisp or harsh.
Make a sugar syrup of good consistency. Dip the malpua in the syrup.
Serve.
