2. In the same ghee, fry maida, and keep them aside as well.
3. To make the hot sugar syrup add mix the sugar and water. Add 4-5 cardamom pods, slightly crushed and a few strands of "Kesar". Mix with a spoon and then heat at medium heat for 5-10 minutes until sugar is all dissolved in water. Do not overheat, that will caramelize the sugar. Add few drops of lemon this will ensure that once syrup cools down it does not solidify.
4. Add maida and cardamom powder to syrup. Mix well and heat gently at the same time stirring continuously with out interruption till the entire mass becomes thick and sticks to the sides of the Pan.
