Chashni Recipe – 1 String Sugar Syrup – 1 Taar ki Chashni

Grind Cardamom Preparation Time: 2 minutes

1. Using Cardamom is optional. We recommend using it.
   Peel the Cardamom to bring out the seeds. Crush or grind using a grinder seeds to make a powder. We used the rolling pin Belan to do it. Its fast and easier than grinding small quantity.
   If you have the ready-made Cardamom powder, you can skip this step.

Check Chashni Consistency Thickness

1. Take 2 drops of syrup between your index finger and thumb.
   
2. Open the index finger and thumb opposite to each other and you will see a string of syrup coming up. The string’s thickness will define its 1 or 2 string consistency.
3. If the string is too light, it won’t make any string at all.If it is showing up 1 string, then it is called 1 string consistent Sugar syrup.
4. If it shows up 2 strings, then it would be called as 2 string consistent Sugar syrup.
5. You will be able to see the string within your fingers.
6. If you want 2 string Sugar syrup than cook it for another 5 minutes. Than check again with the same method.
7. Sugar Syrup is ready. You can use it in any recipe of your choice.
