Welcome to my kitchen, where I will be sharing with you the recipe for making the perfect homemade Badusha – a delectable sweet treat that is loved by many. In this article, I will guide you through the process of creating this traditional Telugu dessert that is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
Ingredients:
For the dough:
– 2 cups of all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup of ghee
– 1/2 cup of yogurt
– 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
– A pinch of salt
For the sugar syrup:
– 2 cups of sugar
– 1 cup of water
– A few saffron strands
– A splash of rose water
For frying:
– Ghee or oil for deep frying
Recipes:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ghee, yogurt, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the sugar syrup by heating the sugar and water in a saucepan. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the saffron strands and rose water. Simmer the syrup until it reaches a one-string consistency.
3. After the dough has rested, divide it into equal-sized small balls and flatten them slightly. Make a small dent in the center of each dough ball.
4. Heat ghee or oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the flattened dough balls into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown.
5. Once the Badushas are fried, immediately dip them into the prepared sugar syrup. Allow them to soak for a few minutes before removing and placing them on a plate to cool.
6. Your homemade Badushas are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat.
