It’s a very traditional sweet savoury/dessert, prevalent in many parts of our country- INDIA 🇮🇳
With it's such fame, it also carries a great taste in the buds & looks both😋😋😋

The best part of this particular sweet is that-
it's shelf life is more than a fortnight, if stored carefully in an air tight glass jar/container 💁🏻‍♀️

Steps

2 hrs 30 mins

1

For the BALUSHAHI dough: We need to mix in a large bowl 4 tbsp ghee & 3/4 tbsp Plain Curd (using the same spoon)- Give it a nice mix...then, add in two batches the 1 Cup Maida & 1/4 tsp of Baking Powder & Soda each...post sifting well
2

Now, prepare the dough with the given measurements- allow it to sit/rest for at least 20-30 mins. Post covering the bowl
3

Now, while the dough is resting- prepare the sugar syrup/chasni, following the given measurements...add to it, a thin slice of lemon juice to avoid crystallising
4

Coming back to the dough, give it the shape of the donuts 🍩 & it should yield about 12-15 pieces, according to the sizes maintained
5

Take a Wok/Kadhai for deep frying the BALUSHAHI- use ONLY vegetable/refined oil, take the oil generously, fry them in batches & leaving spaces between them- not more than 7/8 pieces in a batch
6

The flame need be absolutely in it's LOW all along the frying procedures...need to flip their sides very carefully & cautiously
7

Once done, take them out in the strainer/kitchen towel & then put them back to the prepared warm sugar syrup for getting immersed- each sides for about a minute or so & the process should be repeated 3/4 times min. Our BALUSHAHI is now, all set to go... put the stage on fire 🔥😋👍🏻

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
