    Later, join the pairing moulds and hold them together firmly using rubber bands . Keep all the moulds ready before you start making the sugar syrup . If you are using silicone moulds .. skip the first 2 steps.

    3

    Soak 1 cup of sugar in 1/2 cup water for 2-3 hours.

    4

    Mix well and keep the sugar solution on medium flame in a saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil.

    5

    When the the sugar solution has started boiling. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and mix. Bring to a boil.

    6

    Sieve sugar syrup using a muslin cloth over another vessel .

    7

    Place the strained sugar syrup back to flame in saucepan. When it is about to boil, add a tablespoon of curd. Mix. Bring to boil. You can add food colour at this stage if you like.
