3. Shape 10 small portions of the dough into balls. Cover the rest of the dough with a damp muslin cloth and also cover balls with damp muslin cloth.
4. Add milk to the sugar syrup and let it boil. Discard the scum that may rise to the top. Switch off heat just before the syrup reaches one string consistency. Keep the syrup warm.
5. Heat sufficient oil in a pan.
