- 200 ml Skim milk powder
- 50 ml All purpose flour (or cake flour)
- 50 ml Milk
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 5 grams Baking powder
- 350 ml Sugar
- 300 ml Water
- 1 Cardamon powder
- 1 Oil for frying

- Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and let it cool.
- Put the skim milk powder, the flour, and the baking powder into a bowl and mix well.
- Add the softened butter and combine by rubbing it in.
- Do not knead.
- Once the butter is mostly incorporated, mix in the milk by adding it little by little.
- It'll be sticky, but that's OK.
- Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.
- The dough will have come together more and it'll be easier to work with.
- Grease a shallow container so that the dough wouldn't stick to it.
- You'll be placing the rolled up dough in it.
- Grease your hands too.
- Divide the dough into 20 portions and roll them into balls.
- They'll be rather small, but they'll puff up when they're soaked in the syrup, so this is OK.
- Fry in oil heated to about 160F Celsius until golden brown (more on the brown side).
- Dunk them in the syrup.
- In about 30 minutes, the balls will have expanded from all the syrup they soaked up.
- Serve with some milk, barley tea or some other unsweetened drink and delve into the wondrous world of super sweet Indian treats!!
