Badhusha

Badhusha is an Indian sweet made of flour and coated with a layer of sugar

Ingredients - Yields 15

• All purpose flour / maida - 1 1/2 cups
• Butter - 1/4 cup
• Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
• Curd / yogurt - 2 tsp
• Sugar - 2 tsp
• Sugar - 1 cup (for syrup)
• Lemon juice - 2 tbsp
• Chopped nuts for garnishing
• Oil for deep frying

Method

• Heat the pan with sugar and 1/4 cup water to one string consistency (a thin string will be formed when you test between your thumb and forefinger)
• Squeeze lemon juice to the sugar syrup to avoid from crystallizing
• Mix butter, baking soda, yogurt and sugar

• Add it to the flour, the dough will be crumbly

• Carefully sprinkle little water to make a smooth dough(I used 1/8 cup water)

• Divide the dough into 15 lemon sized balls
• Now take a ball, press the edges and turn inwards to make the edges twisted as shown in the video

• Another simple method is just flatten each balls and press lightly in the centre

• Heat the pan with oil, deep fry 4 to 5 badhushas in medium flame to nice golden brown (biscuit brown)

• Dip the badhushas in sugar syrup for 5 minutes and remove it
• Garnish with chopped nuts on top
