Others have a nutty taste. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms';\">Good avacados can be first identified by its color.Ripe avacado looks dark green to black in color.. Some varieties look light green in color. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms';\">When you want to examine them. Take an avacado and keep it in ur palm. Just press it lightly.Do not use ur finger tips as it may bruise them. If it gives slightly , it is ready to eat. If it is over ripe, pressing them gives a mushy feeling and ur finger may sink into the skin. If the skin is hard to touch and if it doesn\u2019t give , the avacado is not ripe yet. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms';\">If u r planning to keep it for some days, u can buy the unripe avacado , wrap it in a paper and keep it for 4-5 days to ripen.It can be kept in room temperature. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms';\">Avocados can be stored in a refrigerator until eaten to slow the ripening process.

Please do not use copper \u2013 bottom kadai or iron kadai because these vessels retain heat for long time and may change the consistency of the syrup even after taking out from the fire.Also iron kadai changes the color of the end product.If u r planning to use these vessels , its better to transfer the syrup to another vessel after the desired consistency is reached.<\/li>\n<li>For lesser quantity of syrup , use small or medium sized vessel.Now take the sugar in the bowl or kadai and add water just to cover it. Here i used 1\/2 cup sugar &amp; 1\/4 cup water.The more water u add , more time is taken to reach the consistency.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the fire in low (Sim) and allow the sugar to dissolve completely by stirring well. Make sure there are no sugar crystals at the sides of the pan.Wipe them and add to the syrup.<\/li>\n<li>Once the sugar is dissolved completely &amp; started boiling add 2 tbsp of milk to remove the scum.Always keep the flame low.After few seconds , the scum floats on top. Strain the syrup and discard the scum\/ dirt.Now ur syrup looks clean..<\/li>\n<li>Again keep in low fire and start to boil. After it started to boil , please do not stir or disturb.

I checked each consistency by pouring the syrup over the gas stove plate . I dipped my fore finger in little water &amp; checked the syrup.I switched off the flame in each stage to take pictures .If u have any doubts in the pictures or steps , please comment it. I\u2019ll try to clear them..<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>THIN SYRUP :<\/strong>This is the first stage . The sugar dissolves completely , clears &amp; it gets a shine. After removing the scum , the syrup boils and gets a shine.Keep water in a small plate and dip ur fore finger before checking the consistency.In this stage the syrup wont be sticky just shiny .Hope u can see the shine in my fore finger..This stage is not required for any sweets.So it is not much important.Keep the flame low always.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_7859\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh5.ggpht.com\/-6VaxAZz88gU\/UJZcj7YX93I\/AAAAAAAAL1I\/9FxWW10z00Y\/IMG_7859_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?resize=184%2C244&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_7859\" width=\"184\" height=\"244\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh3.ggpht.com\/-AoWGZS4W2pQ\/UJZZG-5FHbI\/AAAAAAAALy4\/07qBeplnIc8\/IMG_7847%25255B9%25255D.jpg\"><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_7847\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh4.ggpht.com\/-J9TR2f0OZ0M\/UJZcXXs4ooI\/AAAAAAAAL0Y\/g7lg7RoaMag\/IMG_7847_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?resize=184%2C244&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_7847\" width=\"184\" height=\"244\" border=\"0\" \/><\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh4.ggpht.com\/-TVig6PVufhw\/UJZcZqq3o2I\/AAAAAAAAL0g\/E-9QJyYmWXA\/s1600-h\/IMG_7850%25255B3%25255D.jpg\"><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_7850\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh3.ggpht.com\/-Sp4EIBjl5Yw\/UJZcbvFipJI\/AAAAAAAAL0o\/NmgFRej-BZw\/IMG_7850_thumb.jpg?resize=184%2C244&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_7850\" width=\"184\" height=\"244\" border=\"0\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>STICKY SYRUP :<\/strong> This is the second stage.Here the sugar syrup becomes little thick.Dip the fore finger in little water and then quickly in the hot syrup.When u slide the thumb over fore finger , it feels sticky.
