Description

Badusha, also known as Balushahi, is a delectable traditional Indian sweet that originates from North India. It is a popular dessert often enjoyed during festivals, special occasions, and celebrations. Badusha is renowned for its unique combination of flaky and crisp outer layers with a melt-in-your-mouth, tender interior.

The preparation of Badusha involves carefully crafting a dough made from all-purpose flour, ghee (clarified butter), yogurt, and a pinch of baking soda. This dough is kneaded to achieve a smooth consistency and then portioned into small rounds. These rounds are gently flattened to form disc-like shapes, creating the base structure of the sweet.

The shaped dough is then deep-fried until it achieves a rich golden-brown color. The frying process is essential as it creates the distinct layers of texture that Badusha is famous for – a crispy, slightly caramelized exterior and a soft, delicate inside. After frying, the Badusha is immediately dipped into a fragrant sugar syrup, allowing it to absorb the sweetness and infuse the dessert with a delightful flavor.
