Diamond Cuts

Ingredients:
All purpose flour - 2 cup
Beaten egg - 2 1/2 Tbsp
Cardamom seeds - 2
Water - 1/2 cup
Pinch of salt
Oil for frying
For Sugar Syrup:
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Water - 2 Tsp
Cardamom seed - 1


Preparation:
Mix the all purpose flour, salt and beaten egg. Add water little by little into the flour and knead it into a soft dough. Add crushed cardamom into this and knead well. Cover it with a damp kitchen cloth and keep it aside for 15 mins. Divide the dough into medium sized balls and roll it out into thin rounds. Then cut it diagonally from left and from right to get diamond shaped pieces. Heat oil in a pan and fry the diamonds till it turns into golden colour. Transfer it to a paper towel and cool it.
For preparing sugar syrup, mix together sugar and water and boil it, till it reaches to a consistency that will help coat the fried diamond cuts. Add the crushed cardamom and coat the diamond cuts in syrup. Transfer it to a tray and cool it.


Note: Making Sugar syrup was really hard for me. I almost wasted 2 extra cups of sugar. last it some what worked for me. There is a consistency when the syrup get all bubbly and white formed that's the stage you need to coat the diamonds.
