- Baking powder 1 tsp
- Baking soda a pinch
- Cold water
- Oil for frying + 2tbsp
- Sugar 1 1/2 cup
- water 3 cups
- Rose water 1 tsp
Badusha:
- In a mixing bowl sieve maida, baking powder,baking soda
- Add sugar and mix them well
- Keep the butter out of refrigerator 1/2 an hr before mixing it to the flour.Butter should be little cold but easy to mash it
- Now mix the butter and 2 tbsp of oil to flour ,mix them well
- Now add the yogurt and enough water, Add the water slowly mix them and make them into soft dough(The dough should not be sticky)
- No need to knead the dough too much
- Make 12 small balls out of the dough
- Press the balls between your palms to flatten it lightly and press it little deep in the center with the thumb
- Once finish making all the 12 badusha kept it aside
- Now heat the oil when it is medium hot turn off the heat and then add 4 to 5 badusha at same time to the oil when you drop the badusha it will reach the bottom first and then it slowly rises to the top that time you turn on the heat again keep it low
- This way of cooking is important for badusha otherwise it won't cook properly or it becomes brown
- Once they are golden brown soak them in sugar syrup for 10 minutes
- Then transfer them to serving plate garnish with sliced almonds or pistachio
- Start preparing the sugar syrup once you start heat the oil for frying the badusha
- In heavy bottom sauce pan add water and sugar start boiling
- Stir them until sugar completely dissolved in water
- Once the bubbles start to appear check for sugar consistency
- It should be 2 string consistency
- Use wooden spoon to stir the sugar syrup take the spoon touch the back side of the spoon with one finger and check between your fingers for the strings,keep cooking until you get 2 strings
- Add 1 tsp of rose water at the end
- we can add 1 tsp of lemon juice to stop crystallization
- If it start crystallize before you done with your badusha. Add little hot water to the syrup and boil it again
- Making 2 strings consistency is important otherwise we won't get white sugar on top of the Badusha
