2 litres milk
¼ cup lemon juice/vinegar
1 ½ cups sugar
4 cups of water

Add teaspoons of lemon juice or vinegar until the milk curdles
Spread a piece of cotton cloth on a sieve

Make 20 small balls from this mixture
Prepare the sugar syrup by boiling sugar, water and crushed cardamom in a big vessel
