RECIPE METHOD
- To make the syrup:
Add the 4 cups of sugar & cardamoms to the 5 cups of water in a large
pot. Boil.
- To make the Milk
balls: Combine the plain flour, milk powder and baking powder well in
a large mixing bowl. Rub in the butter/ghee.
- Add the warm water
gradually, until you can form a dough. More or less water can be adjusted.
Also more or less butter/ghee. Until you have a pliable dough. Form small
balls with the dough - the size of half an egg or smaller.
- If there are many
cracks in the balls, you dough may be too dry - add a bit more water and
knead again. When all the dough is made into balls, heat a pot of cooking
oil. Heat should be at the lowest possible.
- Put a few balls
into the hot oil. Keep turning them gently continuously until they are
golden brown. Drain them.
- Drop them into the
syrup. Repeat for all the balls. It's best to soak the milk balls in the
syrup for about 12 hours before serving.
- Serve about 2 balls
in a bit of syrup.
