Directions

  1. 1

    Place the flour in a bowl and create a well in the center. Beat the eggs and pour them into the well.

  2. 2

    Add milk and mix. Incorporate ground nuts, baking powder, and cardamom. Fold the ingredients until a pliable dough forms.

  3. 3

    Roll out the dough into a thin rectangle using a rolling pin. Re-roll from the longest side in 3cm-wide bands, then roll into a long line. Cut horizontally into 3cm pieces.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan to frying temperature. Meanwhile, bring 1L of water to a boil in another saucepan.

  5. 5

    Pour sugar into boiling water and stir gently until a thick syrup forms. Reduce heat and let simmer.

  6. 6

    Gently drop each piece of dough into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, then immediately dip into warm syrup.

💡 Chef's Tip

For optimal texture, ensure the oil is at the right temperature before frying. Quickly plunge fried pieces into syrup for good absorption. This recipe keeps well for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
