Badhusha

Ingredients:

Maida – 2 cups
Sugar – 3 cups
Ghee or dalda – ¾ cup
Baking soda – ¼ teaspoon
Oil – for deep frying
Sliced pista, almonds and dry coconut for garnishing

Method:

Combine ghee and baking soda in a bowl and rub them with the palm of your right hand for 15 minutes. Then sprinkle maida to the beaten ghee gradually and mix with your fingers lightly. Then sprinkle some water and make soft dough without forcing your strength on the dough. Keep aside closed with a wet cloth for 15 minutes.

Then take a small portion out of it and make a lime-sized ball, then flatten it, and press lightly in the center. Finish all the dough like this.

Heat oil in a kadai and when it is hot, reduce the heat and put four to five badhushas and fry till it turns biscuit colour.

Add two cups water to the sugar and bring to boil. When the syrup is boiling with foaming bubbles, then that is the correct texture of the syrup. Put the fried badhushas in the syrup and after five minutes, remove it and arrange it in a large plate.

Sprinkle sliced nuts and dry coconut.
