Steps

35 minutes

1

Firstly, in a large mixing bowl take 1½ cup maida.
2

Also add ½ tsp sugar, ½ tsp baking powder. combine well.
3

Now add ¼ cup ghee and crumble the mixture.
4

Further add ¼ cup curd and combine well. do not knead the dough.
5

Additionally add pinch of food colour, water and start to make dough without kneading. adjust the water accordingly.make a soft dough, but do not knead as the dough as we are preparing flaky badushahi.cover with moist cloth and rest for 15 minutes.
6

Further,in a large vessel prepare sugar syrup by dissolving 1 cup sugar in 1/2 cup water.
7

Also add few thread saffron and mix well.further boil for 5 minutes or till sugar syrup turns slightly sticky. if you are looking for more sweet badushahi then get to 1 string consistency sugar syrup.add in 1/4 tsp cardamom powder and mix well.
8

After the dough has rested for 15 minutes, slightly knead the dough.pinch a small ball sized dough and make ball. do not knead the ball and its completely fine if there are cracks. as they help sugar syrup to seep inside badushah.make a dent at the centre with the help of thumb.
9

Deep fry in medium hot oil on low flame. also do not crowd the oil as badushahi will puff up slightly while frying.drain off the badhusha over kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
10

Drop them into warm sugar syrup immediately. coat the badhusha with sugar syrup both the sides and soak for 5 minutes.

Finally, serve balusha garnished with few chopped almonds.
