NOTES
- Make sure you fry the cakes over a medium heat.If the oil is too hot,the outside of the cakes will brown too quickly and inside will be under cooked.
- Do not over fry the cakes,if you do so it will be a bit too hard to eat.
- For best results use freshly ground cardamom powder.
- You can make 28 to 30 small cakes or 14 to 15 larger cakes from the above mentioned quantity.
