1/2
Cup
Basmati Rice
300
ml
Milk
Oil for Deep Frying
For the Syrup
1/2
Cup
Sugar
1/3
Cup
Water
1/2
tsp
Cardamom Powder
1/2
tsp
Lemon Juice
(Optional, See Notes)
Instructions
Wash the rice well and cook it in milk till all the milk is absorbed and the rice is cooked.
While the rice is cooking, boil the water and sugar together till the sugar melts.
Turn off the heat and add the cardamom powder and lemon juice.
Mix well and set aside.
After the rice is cooked, let it cool a bit and then use a heavy ladle to mash it a bit.
Take about 1 tbsp of the mashed rice and shape it into a ball. Press to form a thick disc.
Shape the rest of the Dudhauri in the same way.
In a small kadai, over medium flame, heat about 1 cup oil.
Over medium heat, fry a few Dudhauri at a time till they are golden brown.
Each batch took me about 10 minutes.
Drain all the oil from the fried Dudhauri and drop them into the syrup.
Let the Dudhauri soak up the syrup for about 30 to 60 minutes.
Serve warm or cold.
Notes
The lemon juice prevents the syrup from crystallising.
