A treat similar to an Indian pancake called malpua is fried in copious amounts of ghee and sugar syrup. Since ages past, the customary treat has been a mainstay of celebrations. Malpuas were traditionally associated with celebrations in Indian homes for a very long period. This has a long history that dates back to the time of the Aryans and is highly popular in the Northern and Eastern regions of the country. These days, this delectable delicacy is made for Diwali, Holi, or Eid.

Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled
- ½ cup white sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone non-stick mat that is larger than the tray to prevent juice from spilling onto the tray.
- Combine strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl; toss gently to coat. Transfer to the baking sheet, scraping down the bowl with a spatula to ensure all the liquid is included.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer cooled strawberries and all juice to the bowl of a food processor. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cream; mix until smooth.
- Pour strawberry mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches the creamy texture of a gelato, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve immediately.
- If you do not eat all the gelato, transfer leftover gelato from the ice cream maker to a plastic container. Cover the top with a sheet of waxed paper, top with a lid, and store in freezer. Remove from the freezer up to 30 minutes before serving so it’s a softer consistency to serve.
