Balushahi, a traditional Indian dessert loved by children and adults.
Begin by adding all-purpose flour in a large bowl.
Add sugar, baking soda, and cardamom powder in the bowl and mix well.
Then add ghee, curd, and mix. Make sure to break all the lumps.
Add ¼ cup of water and start kneading the dough.
Once done, cover the dough with a moist cloth and let it sit for around 10-15 minutes.
Knead the dough a little more and begin making small balls from it.
Make a dent at the centre of every ball, using your thumb. You can also make any design of your choice on the edges of the ball.
Place a wok on the stove on high flame, add oil, and allow it to become hot.
Turn the flame to medium and start adding your small dough balls one by one.
Deep fry so that they turn golden brown and crisp.
Take them out on a plate and keep aside.
Place another pot on the stove. Add sugar and water to make sugar syrup.
Let it cook for around 5-8 minutes. Once the solution seems ready, coat Balushahi with sugar syrup by soaking for 5 minutes.
Your Balushahi is ready, garnish with dry fruits and serve.
