In a deep pan bring water and sugar to a boil over medium heat. Turn the heat to low and stir continuously until sugar dissolves completely and the syrup is clear with a sticky consistency. Add cardamom powder and turn off the heat.

In a large bowl add flour, desiccated coconut+almond powder, fennel seeds, cardamom, sugar, pinch of salt, pinch of baking powder and mix well. Start adding milk little by little and whisk to form a smooth batter of pouring consistency.

Heat oil in a wide pan on medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter into the hot oil. The batter will form a round shape of it's own. Fry the malpua until golden brown from both sides. Remove the malpua from oil carefully, drain the oil.

Dip the malpua in prepared warm sugar syrup for 5-7 minutes.
