Badusha Recipe / Balushahi Recipe with step by step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel.  Badshah looks like doughnuts but has a completely different taste and texture, it’s soft outside and flaky as well as juicy inside. It is so simple to make which has only a handful of ingredients but small tricks have to be followed to get the perfect texture.

Ingredients
  

(1 Cup = 250Grams)

    For making Badusha

    • 1 Cup Maida / All purpose Flour
    • ¼ Cup Butter Link for Homemade Butter
    • 2 tsp Powdered Sugar
    • ¼ tsp Baking Powder
    • 1 Generous Pinch Baking Soda
    • 4 tsp Fresh Curd Link for Homemade Curd
    • 2 to 3 tbsp Ice Water
    • Oil For Deep Frying

    For the Sugar Syrup

    • 1 Cup Sugar
    • 1 Cup Water
    • Few Strands Saffron
    • 2 Cardamom
    • 1 tsp Lemon Juice

    Instructions
     

    • First, measure and keep all the ingredients ready. The ingredients in the 1st pic are for making badusha and 2nd pic for making sugar syrup.
    • In a pan add sugar, water, crushed cardamom and saffron strands. Heat in medium flame till the bubbles appear.
    • Continue till one string consistency is reached. Switch off the flame, and squeeze lemon juice to avoid sugar crystallizing. Keep the sugar syrup aside.
    • To a wide bowl, add 1/4 cup of butter and 2 tsp of powdered sugar. Then, scrub for 2 minutes till it mixes well. Now add baking powder.
    • Add baking soda, curd and scrub again.
    • Add the maida and sprinkle very little ice water (about 2 to 3 tbsp of water).
    • Just combine the dough, NEVER KNEAD it hardly, else the flaky texture will be lost. Combine the dough for at least 10 minutes, else lots of cracks will appear and it breaks in the oil. Set the dough covered for 10 minutes. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.
    • Gently (not hardly) roll the dough into a smooth ball, flatten it and make a dent in the middle. Ensure there are not too much of cracks (slight crack is ok). Make small sized badusha only, as it expands while frying.
    • Do the same with the remaining dough. Heat oil in a pan, just drop a small piece of dough, if it raises immediately, the oil temperature is perfect. The oil should not be fuming, only MEDIUM HEAT is required. Drop the badusha slowly, 2 or 3 accordingly to the size of the pan and remember it expands too. After dropping LOWER THE FLAME completely, NEVER INCREASE THE FLAME as it gets cracked or uncooked inside. Once it raises, turn to the other side and continue frying on both sides till golden colour. It will take 12 to 14 minutes for each batch depending on the size of the badusha and the pan thickness.
    • Place the fried badusha on a shallow bowl or pan and pour the prepared sugar syrup over it. Or else drop the badusha in the sugar syrup. After 5 minutes turn it to the other side.
    • Totally, let the badusha rest in the sugar syrup for 15 minutes. Remove and store it in an airtight container. It stays good for 4 to 5 days.

    Notes

    For Making Flaky Badusha Recipe

    1. Using ice water to prepare the dough is a must to get a perfect and flaky texture.
    2. Also, use cold, thick, fresh and unsour curd, otherwise the badusha smells bad.
    3. Don't skip baking powder and baking soda, as it helps the badusha expand in size and gives a nice texture too.
    4. Addition of powdered sugar in the dough gives a nice golden colour to the badusha after frying.
    5. Butter can be replaced with ghee or vanaspati / dalda too - which lends an amazing texture but vanaspati is not good for health.
    6. Never knead the dough hardly, it should be combined or scrubbed only.
    7. Rest the dough for a minimum time 10 to 15 minutes. Also, don't apply pressure when rolling the balls also.
    8. Make the balls without much cracks (slight cracks are ok) else it will dissolve in the oil while frying.
    Frying Technique
    1. The flame should be in medium when you drop the balushahi dough and lowered immediately. After it raises, flip to the other side and continue frying it till golden colour. It took 12 to 14 minutes for me.
    2. Remember, it should be fried in low flame only, else it cracks and dissolves in the oil and uncooked in the middle also.
    For the Sugar Syrup
    1. One string consistency is a must else the sugar syrup does not seep inside the fried badusha. Also don't pass the one string consistency as the sugar syrup hardens the badusha.
    2. Addition of lemon juice in the sugar syrup avoids crystallization of the sugar.
    3. Don't add more saffron strands as it changes the taste and flavour comlpetely.
