Ingredients:

280g milk powder
1 egg
1 tsp oil
1 tbsp plain flour
1/2 tbsp semolina
2 tsp baking powder
oil for deep frying

For the Syrup:
480ml water
400g sugar
5 green cardamom seeds
a few drops of kewra extract (this is a flavoured extract from the pandanus flower — substitute rose water if not available)

Method:

Combine the water and sugar in a pan and heat until the sugar dissolves. Add the cardamom seeds and bring the mixture to a boil then take off the heat and set aside. When cooled add the kewra extract and mix to combine.

Meanwhile, mix all the remaining ingredients in a bowl and bring together as a firm dough. Shape the dough into small balls (you should get about 35) then deep fry in oil until browned, add to the syrup and serve.
