Ingredients

For dough:

2 cups All purpose flour

1/4 cup Butter/Ghee

2 teaspoons Sugar

Salt- A pinch

Cooking Soda- A pinch

1 ounce

For Syrup:

1 cup Sugar

1 cup Water

Oil for frying

Preparation

Mix Flour, Salt, Sugar & cooking soda well.

Melt Ghee with Oil and add to the flour.

Using your hands Knead the dough softly.

If require add water little by little and make a soft dough as we do for Chappathi dough.

Rest it for an hour & make small lemon size balls.

Slightly flatten them with small depression in center.

Rest it for 5 mins, Meanwhile heat Oil in a kadai or Pan for frying in medium heat.

Drop Badhusha s in batches & lower the heat. Let it cook in low heat itself.

Carefully turn over them & cook till it turns golden brown colour.

Side by, prepare sugar syrup with sugar & water to one string consistency and turn off the heat.

Add cooked badhusha to sugar syrup & leave it for 1 minute.

Remove the dipped badhusha & let it cool.

Store in Air tight container.

Note: Use same measurement to get soft Badhusha.

It is Better to keep more oil, So badhusha will float & cook completely. If you want white coated badhusha then Keep on stirring the 1 string consistency sugar syrup till it form cloudy syrup after removing from heat . Soak the badhusha in cloudy sugar syrup for 3 mins and remove, keep it in grease plate to cool.

After cooling, with help of oiled platted knife take the badhusha carefully & store it in a container.

About

Badhusha is a traditional sweet of India made usually in most of festivals. It is a doughnut made out of flour & coated with sugar syrup. After trying various methods of preparing badhusha, I found this measurement is perfect to get soft badhusha as we get in Krishna sweets. Try this & let me know.
