3. Make small size balls with it and make a shallow hole impression in the middle with the finger, and keep it covered.

4. To make the syrup, add the water and sugar to the pan and boil it until string consistency is reached. Add the lemon juice at last to avoid crystallization. Avoid frequent stirring of the syrup it leads to sugar crystallization.
