Instructions

  • In a wide bowl take ghee and spread vigorously with fingers. Then add curd and whisk again. Sieve maida and add into the bowl. Now add a pinch of baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix all the dry ingredients. Add water gradually and start kneading the dough. Do not need into a soft dough. Instead, the dough should be flaky and layered. Set aside for 15 minutes. How to make sugar syrup: In the meantime, prepare sugar syrup. Take a cup of sugar with a cup of water in a pan and let it boil. Switch off the stove, add a few drops of lemon juice to stop further crystallization. Close with the lid to keep it warm and set aside. How to make Badusha: Now scoop a small lemon sized ball from the resting dough, press gently to flat shape and make a dip with your finger. Make shapes and keep them ready. How to fry Badusha: Heat oil to medium temperature in a separate pan. The oil should be of medium heat and you can check the right temperature by dropping a small ball of dough. Now drop the shapes one by one slowly into the medium hot oil. Keep the temperature at the same level. Do not disturb and let them fry for a few minutes. They come up one by one to the top. Now when you see light golden color in the bottom you can slowly flip them to the other side. It takes around 10 to 15 minutes for each batch. When both sides reach brown color, remove and place them in a paper towel. After 2 minutes when they are still warm place them in hot sugar syrup, leave to rest for 10 minutes. In 10 minutes flip them once to let the sugar syrup reach the middle portion of the Badusha. Allow 30 minutes for the badushas to absorb sugar syrup. And the badusha is ready.
