Making Sugar Syrup:

- Keep a small plate of water and keep checking. When you add few drops to the plate first the syrup will get dissolved after sometime it will stand still in water without dissolving and try to gather and form a ball, it will form a little loose ball, this is the right consistency we want.Switch off.

- Toss it for a minute and leave it undisturbed, in few mins sugar will be coated so beautifully. Cool down then store in airtight container.

Notes
- Syrup Consistency – Always check syrup by dropping small bit in water. When it form hard ball and not dissolve, off the flame immediately. That gives perfect coating on sev.
- Dough Texture – Make dough soft and smooth, not tight. If it is too stiff, sev will break when pressing. Add water little by little till right texture.
- Oil Temperature – Keep oil medium hot always. Too hot oil will brown sev quick but make inside soft, too low heat will make it oily.
- Breaking the Sev – After frying, let sev cool fully before breaking to small pieces. This keep it crisp and clean.
- Mixing with Syrup – Once syrup reaches right stage, quickly add sev and toss nicely so it coat well. Do not stir too much later, just leave to set.
