Boil for 7-8 minutes on medium heat. We need only stick syrup and not 1 or 2 strands.

Pour the syrups over the fried cakes on a big plate.

Let them remain soaked for 2 hours. Flip the sides in between so that syrup get into cakes from all sides.

Serve garnished with some chopped nuts, if you desire silver varq, which if avoided is better for health.
