Instructions
- Separate the egg yolks and whites for all the eggs.
- Make 3 holes at the bottom of the disposable glass and keep it ready. (The traditional way of making this egg garland is to use an empty egg shell with a tiny hole at the bottom).
- Now lightly whisk the egg yolks and keep it aside.
- Boil water in a pan and add in the sugar to make a sugar syrup.
- Now to this boiling sugar syrup, we have to pour in the egg yolks through the holes in the disposable glass.
- Rotate the glass so as to form chains of egg yolks. Do not pour everything at once, it may not cook evenly.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes, slightly moving them with a slotted spoon.
- Then remove from the syrup and allow it to cool. Repeat until all the egg yolks are used up.
- Now allow the remaining sugar syrup to cool.
- Once it is cooled, mix it with the egg whites.
- Add in the powdered cardamom and whisk everything well.
- Now steam this in a steamer, for 20-25 minutes, until cooked completely.
- Allow to cool.
- Now our egg garland is ready and you may serve cutting the white egg cake to smaller pieces and placing the yolk chain on top. Garnish with cherries.
