2. Beat the egg and add it to the above mixture and fold it.
3. Add water 1 tsp at a time to make a soft dough. Keep aside for 10-15 minutes.
4. Make small balls and roll them round like we make roti. Then with a pizza cutter cut the rounds diagonally first from left and then from right to make small diamonds.
5. Heat oil in a frying pan and deep fry these diamond cuts until golden brown and drain it in a paper towel.
6. Meanwhile, add sugar to a wide pan along with 1/4 cup water . Boil this to make a sugar syrup with one with one string consistency.
7. Once the sugar syrup is ready ,  switch off the stove and allow it to cool down a little. Then add the fried diamond cuts to the sugar syrup and mix well.
8. The sugar will crystallize and coat the diamond cuts. Store it in airtight containers.
