Badusha

Wowwwwwwwww  Badusha!!!!!!!!!!!!
Badusha is my husband's only favourite sweet. I had no idea how to make it until yestarday when I watched few videos in youtube and referred some websites for the recipe. Then only I realised how easy it was and thought I should definitely give it a try. And that's how Badusha is on top of my Diwali Sweets list. Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

For Badusha:

 

2 cup      Maida

 

2 tsp       Curd

 

2-4 tsp    Ghee

 

2 pinch   Cooking Soda

 

Water to knead dough

 

Oil to deep fry

 

For Sugar Syrup:

 

2 cup       Sugar

 

1 cup       Water

1 tsp        Lime juice

Method:

Sieve Maida and cooking soda. Add curd and ghee to it and mix roughly with water.
Do not knead too much, mix the flour with other ingredients just roughly.
Keep the dough aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare sugar syrup. Add sugar and water to a bowl and bring to boil.
Reduce heat and keep for 15 minutes in loe flame to form a thick sugar syrup of 2 string consistency.
Add lime juice to prevent sugar syrup from crystallizing.

Heat oil in a kadai or pan. Oil should not be too hot.
Prepare small balls out of the dough and push in the centre to look like a doughnut.
Put the balls in the oil and cook for 15 to 20 minutes in low flame.
Turn sides frequently and always keep the flame low.
If oil gets too hot remove pan from heat and allow the balls to cook.
Drain the balls into a kitchen towel and dip in sugar syrup for few minutes.
Remove and arrange in a plate.
When all the balls are done pour sugar syrup over the badushahs and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
Garnish with almond and your Badusha is ready.
