Take a Stainless Steel tray and pour this thick mixture you may form balls or give different shapes to the pinni.<\/p>\n

Chef Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use a heavy bottomed pan to prepare pinni as it may stick to the bottom of the pan and get burnt.<\/li>\n
  2. For the Sugar Syrup: Ratio of sugar to water may be varied from 2:1 i.e. two parts of sugar to one part of water to 1:1 One part of sugar to one part of water. 3 \u00bd cups of sugar to 3 \u00bd cups of water.<\/li>\n
  3. Add a few drops of milk to clarify the sugar syrup, remove the scum from the top and discard the scum.\u00a0 Before adding the sugar syrup, strain it through a muslin cloth. This clarification process helps preventing the pinni from getting discolored.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
