Serves:: 4-8

ingredients

4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1 teaspoon lime juice
1 ¹⁄₂ cups sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cardamom powder (Elaichi)
3 cups water, for boiling, may need more (sugar, to water ratio should be 1-2)

directions

Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the milk and bring it to a boil.
The lemon juice will separate the milk into watery whey and solid chunks.
Sift mixture through a clean muslin cloth and throw away the water. It will take about 15 minutes for all of the water to be removed.
Blend solid chunks in blender with cardamon into a thick paste. You can add a FEW drops of water if needed but you want as thick of a paste as possible.
Make small balls about 1 inch in diameter out of the paste.
Boil water in a wide pan with at least 2-3 inches of water over medium low heat.
Add sugar to water to make a light syrup.
Gently drop the solid balls into the boiling syrup.
Cook the balls in the syrup for about 1/2 an hour.
Remove from heat and serve cold.

I am no longer single. I found me an amazing man and we married, it has been almost 3 years now. My little girl is 13 now and she is amazing. I went to school and got my Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice and I work for the State as a Parole Officer now. I have realized that I hate cooking. I really do hate it. Luckily I married a man who loves to cook. He hates to bake, and I actually do like to bake. So I am what one would consider a somewhat mediocre baker. I still think about my Zaar Angel all the time. She knows who she is. I do enjoy to crochet, I do that a lot here lately. I use to do counted cross stitch, yet I don't do that anymore. I can't watch TV as well as I can while I crochet.
