Balushahi sweet.

Balushahi
- Plain Maida ( flour)
- Melted and cool Ghee- 3/4 cup
- Curd - 1/2 cup
- Soda -1/4 tsp
- Cardamom powder -1/4 tsp
- Ghee to deep fry
For Syrup :
- Sugar- 1 ½ cup
- Water- ¾ cup
- A few drops of lemon juice
Method :
- Mix flour and soda, sieve it together and add cardamom powder,
then rub the mixture thoroughly in ghee.
- Now, add curd to it and mix. Make stiff dough and cover it and
keep aside in a cool place for half an hour. After a while, make
small round balls around 3" diameter; press the balls to make
them flat and then make a depression in the centre (to give it a
typical Balushahi shape).
- Take a thick bottom frying pan and heat the ghee, cool the ghee a
bit and then put a few Balushahi patties into the ghee. Fry it at
low flame and do not turn the Balushahis till they become pinkish.
- Repeat the same for all Balushahi pieces.
- Drain the pieces, cool a bit and then put them into the sugar
syrup. Allow to soak for 5 minutes.
- Remove and keep on a perforated plate to drain excess syrup.
- Now reheat the remaining syrup till 2-1/2 thread consistency is
attained and coat the above portion of Balushahis with this thick
syrup.
- Keep it on mesh to cool and allow the sugar to set. You can, now,
decorate it as per your wishes.
