For the syrup

200-250 gm brown sugar,more or less to your taste. I add 200gms

1-1/2 -1 cup water, I like mine watery so I use 11/2 cup water. This vadai must be a bit dry and wet.

Cashewnuts for garnishing

In a pan add in the brown sugar ( I use the clean type were I don't have to boil and sieve it) and water bring it to boil when the brown sugar has dissolve. Add in the vadais and let it cook over a low heat for about 5 mint then remove form the heat and let the vadai soaked in the brown sugar for sometime
