Badusha | Balushahi | Diwali Sweets | Badusha Recipe

 




Diwali Season is here and it is time for yummy Sweets and Snacks! Today am sharing my recipe for super delicious Badusha 😋

It is a traditional and popular dessert in the Indian Subcontinent. In North India, it is known as Balushahi 😃
This is so easy to make and can be done within 30-45 minutes.

This is similar to a glazed donut in terms of ingredients, but differs in taste and texture. It is soft and flaky on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Try and keep the same measurement for the ingredients as mentioned in my recipe to get the perfect Badusha / Balushahi 😍

Do try and I would love to hear your feedback 🤩❤️

STEP BY STEP BADUSHA RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS:

Maida - 2 cups
Ghee  - 1/2 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Salt    - 1/4 tsp
Baking powder - 1/4 tsp 
Oil     - for frying

For Syrup:

Sugar - 4 cups
Saffron - a pinch 
Water   - 1 1/2 cups 

HOW TO MAKE:

Soak saffron in 2 tbsp of water for 5 minutes. In a bowl take maida, ghee, water, salt and baking powder.  Mix gently.  Do not give pressure to make a dough as the badusha will get hard. 


Do not knead and try to mix by fingers and make a flaky dough.  The dough should flaky consistency.  Rest the dough for 15 minutes.  Keep covered. 


In a pan add sugar and water.  Cook in medium flame.  Let the sugar dissolve completely.  Once sugar dissolved add soaked saffron and lemon juice.  



Keep stirring and bring to one string consistency.  Once reached one string consistency Turn off the stove.  


Heat oil in a pan low flame.  Preferably a wide pan as it will give space for the badusha, also can fry all in one batch. (maximum 15 - 20 or depends on the pan). Meanwhile take dough little by little and make small ball or desired size and do dent in the middle as shown in the below picture. 



Finish repeat the dough.  When oil is hot enough (low flame) add all the badushas and fry until golden brown. 


Once the oil sound decreases and golden brown remove Badusha from the oil and put in the sugar syrup.  Dip well and keep for 5 minutes and flip the other side and let it be again for 5 more minutes.  So each side 5 minutes and total 10 minutes are more than enough and do not soak more than 10 minutes. 


After 10 minutes remove Badusha from the syrup and place it on another plate.  Rest for an hour or two till the syrup completely absorb. 



Soft and Juicy Badusha is ready to serve 😋 😋


TIPS:

Syrup consistency should be perfect one string and more than a string will result more glaze on the badusha.

Adding lemon juice avoid syrup crystalize.

Do not knead the dough soft like roti dough. 

Dough should be flaky and flaky dough yield flaky Badusha. 

Do not soak Badusha more than 10 minutes as will be more sweet also will get more sugar glaze on the Badusha.
