- In a large bowl, sieve together All-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Sieving the flour mixture is very important. Mix this flour mixture well with a spoon and then add softened butter. Combine well with your fingers. To this, add the melted ghee little by little. The ghee must be mixed well with the flour. Combine well to form a bread crumbs texture. For kneading this flour mixture to a soft dough, combine together egg white, curd, and sugar in another bowl.. Add this egg mixture little by little to the flour mixture and knead well to form a soft dough. Keep this dough aside covered for half an hour. Meanwhile let's make the sugar syrup. Boil sugar, water and cardamom in a pan until it form a one string consistency. Then add lemon juice. Mix well and off the flame. Now the dough for paal cake will be ready. Do not knead the dough at this stage, but roll and flatten the dough using a rolling pin to form a rectangular shape with minimum thickness. Then cut it into shapes. Heat a pan with oil for deep frying. Once hot, drop the prepared cakes to the oil and then make the flame to medium low. You must cook the cakes over a medium flame only else results in an uncooked paal cakes. Fry until both sides turn golden. When done, transfer it to a plate and immediately put them in warm sugar syrup for 3 to 5 minutes or until the next batch is ready. Do not keep the cakes in syrup for more time. After 3 to 5 minutes, transfer it to the plate and allow it to cool down before serving.
