In a bowl, add 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, a pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cardamom and mix well.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter and mix again.

Start adding 1 cup of milk and knead until you get a smooth dough.

Form small balls with the dough and cut them into tiny pieces.

Take a piece of cardboard, peel it to create a guide, sprinkle a little flour on it, and place the small dough pieces on top, rolling them out.

Fry the rolled pieces in a deep pan with medium heat until they are golden brown.

Remove the fried pieces and set them aside to prepare the syrup.

In a saucepan, add 3/4 cup sugar, 1 cup water, and 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, mix well and bring to a boil.

Stir occasionally to check if the syrup is ready; it should be sticky but not overly so.

Once the syrup is ready, pour it over the fried pieces and mix quickly before the syrup dries.
