Method :

Boil milk in heavy vessel till it is reduced to half of it's volume. Remove from fire and allow to cool down to room temperature. Mix maida with this without forming lumps and prepare thick batter of pouring consistency. Then heat ghee in a small kadai up to 1 inch depth. Take a small ladle full of dough and pour in the hot ghee to form a small pan cake. Turn over and cook for a while and remove from the fire. Then heat water and sugar together to form a thick and sticky syrup. [ like jamun syrup ]. When malpuas  are  deep fried, dip it in warm sugar syrup and arrange on a flat plate side by side. Prepare all the malpuas like this till the batter is over. Finely sprinkle fried  nuts on top.
