In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mix very well till the batter becomes sticky. Cover and set aside for 1-2 hours to puff up the meantime, prepare the syrup by;
Adding sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and add lemon juice (grated lemon rinds) and cardamom then simmer for about 5-8 minutes or till it’s sticky. The syrup should coat a spoon when ready
Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely
In a wok, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil and using a small ice cream scoop or a spoon, drop dumplings in the hot oil and fry till golden brown
Drop in the ready dumplings in the syrup and coat them for one minute (the longer you leave them the more syrup they’ll absolve hence becoming very sweet)
