• Blend together the sugar and 1 cup water and form a syrup of one-thread consistency.
• Remove from fire but keep it warm.
• Beat the batter till it turns very smooth and free from all lumps.
• Heat enough ghee for deep frying. Lower heat, then take a sieve, hold it over the smoking ghee and rub a little batter at a time through the sieve.
• Tap the sieve on the inside edges of the pan to make the mixture fall through the holes into the ghee.
