Deep Fried Sweetmeats in Syrup

Ingredients
5 tablespoons dried full-cream milk powder
1.5 tablespoons plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1.5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium egg
1 teaspoon mil to mix (if required)
10 tablespoons ghee for frying
Syrup
750ml water
8 tablespoons sugar
2 green cardamoms, crushed
1 large pinch saffron strands

Method
1. Mix milk powder and baking powder.
2. Heat butter until melted - whisk the egg into the powder mix, and add the melted butter (and milk if required) to form a soft dough.
3. Break the dough into about 12 small pieces and shape into smooth balls.
4. Heat the ghee in a deep pan - reduce the heat and fry the dough balls (3 or 4 at a time) turning until dark brown in colour - set aside.
5. Make the syrup by boiling the water and sugar in a pan for 7-10 minutes adding the crushed cardamom and saffron - pour the syrup over the sweetmeat and leave to soak for 10 minutes - serve hot or cold.

Untried - but have had something similar in an Indian restaurant and it was very nice . . .
