Milk serbat

Ingredients:
Sugar - 1 kg
Egg's white - 1

Method of preparation:
1. Mix egg's white and sugar very well.
2. Heat a pan and pour this mixture to it and fry it well. When colour of sugar changes slightly, add water.
3. Place naruneendi crushed inside a cloth and wrap it well. When water heats, dip it inside water and stir well.
4. As water boils, bubbles come out of water. These bubbles are dirt present in the sugar and hence should be removed continuously with a spoon.
5. Stir the sugar syrup continuously till the whole water evaporates. When its viscosity equals to that of oil, take the sugar syrup from flame. This is known as serbat. Later it can be cooled by placing inside the fridge.
6. Boil milk in a container and stir it continuously till it thickens. When it cools, place it inside fridge.
7. At the time of serving, take both milk and serbat from fridge. Take a serving glass and pour 3 table spoon of serbat. Add 150 ml chilled milk to it.
8. Add crushed ice on top of it and mix well. Your serbat is ready to serve.
