We women have a habit of multitasking. CONCENTRATE ON MAKING CARAMEL ONLYYYYYY.Though my  post is for preparing simple caramel. But I feel the more  information you have about a particular recipe, It will help to understand the solution of the difficulties faced while preparing the recipe



Ingredients:-

Sugar  4 tbsp             water 1tbsp only
In a aluminum vessel or pan  add sugar and water.
Put the vessel on a medium heat first. You can see it is changing its color
 
Slow the gas flame to its LOWEST POINT. This is a very crucial stage. Cook till u need your  desired color
 
I don’t like my caramel too brown. 

NOTE: I prepare my caramel sauce in the same pan which can be further used to   prepare caramel pudding.
