Ingredients
  

1 cup = 200ml

  • 1/2 Cup Malai plus 2-3 tbsp extra
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Cup whole wheat flour more or less
  • 2 Green Cardamoms

Instructions
 

  • Take a small bowl and place sieve over it.
  • Add malai in the sieve and with the help of a spoon, gently stir malai. Purpose is to remove all milk from malai and that's why we are using 2-3 tbsp extra malai than needed. Keep aside till all the milk drips out of the malai through sieve.
  • In the mean time, take sugar along with cardamoms & add to the grinder.
  • Grind them to a fine powder. Keep aside.
  • By now, milk must have been dropped out of the malai.
  • Transfer malai from the sieve to a big bowl. You need 1/2 CUP of THICK MALAI.
  • Add powdered sugar to malai and whisk them till it becomes creamy.
  • Take whole wheat flour and initially add some of the flour. Do note that don't add all the flour in one go.
  • Add little flour, mix it, again add little more flour, mix and so on till you get a smooth normal dough. We had to add complete 1 cup of flour. You may need to add less or more depending on the thickness of malai.
  • Once dough is ready, divide it in small equal portions. We manged to make 22 portions.
  • Roll each portion between your palms  and make a small ball (little smaller than lemons). You may give any shape you like.
  • Arrange them on a baking tray lined with greased butter paper or parchment paper. Keep a distance between each ball as they are going to expand a bit while baking. We baked in two shifts.
  • Place the tray/balls in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • After the said period, place tray in preheated oven and bake @180°C in the middle rack with both the rods on for 15 to 20 minutes or until you get a light golden corners. Baking timings may differ depending on oven and biscuits shape.
  • Take tray out of oven and place on cooling rack.
  • Let biscuits cool down completely.
  • Malai Biscuits are ready.
  • Enjoy
