For the syrup:

Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, semolina, desiccated coconut, sugar, and green cardamom powder. Mix well.
- Gradually add milk to the dry ingredients and whisk to form a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.
- Heat oil or ghee in a deep frying pan on medium heat.
- Using a ladle, pour a small amount of batter into the pan to make a small disc. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Once the malpuas are cooked, remove them from the pan and set them aside on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil or ghee.
- In a separate pan, combine sugar, water, and green cardamom powder. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly.
- Dip each malpua in the syrup and let it soak for a minute or two.
