- Ensure that the flame has been set on a low flame setting.
- Flip the pieces to fry them uniformly.
- You will soon notice a colour change. Your pieces will now be golden brown in colour.
- After they have fried, place the pieces on a plate and drain off the excess oil using tissue paper.
- In a fresh pan, add ½ cup sugar.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the pan.
- Add 2 cardamom seeds into the pan.
- Stir these ingredients well in order to get a uniform taste and texture.
- Wait for the sugar to dissolve into the water.
- After the sugar has dissolved, let the water boil for 3-4 minutes.
- The water will turn into a sugar syrup that has a sticky consistency.
- Your sugar syrup is ready to sweeten the cakes.
- Dip the sour cakes that we prepared earlier inside the sugar syrup.
- Allow them to soak the sugar syrup completely. Cover the lid and let them rest.
- Uncover when they have swollen up in size.
- the sugar syrup would have made them sweet to their core.
