Balushahi is a traditional dessert originating from the Indian subcontinent. It's similar to a glazed doughnut in terms of ingredients but differs in texture and taste. In South India, there are also doughnuts called badushas (also spelled bhadushah) which differ because they're made with flour like all-purpose flour mixed with ghee and baking soda for stiffness instead of sugar syrup or oil that would traditionally be used by many other cultures around the world.. Badusha has an inch diameter disc shape while being about one half inches thick - so they can take more time frying before becoming too crunchy than most Americanized fried donuts might need! They come out very sweet as well since these snacks contain coating such as powdered sugar.
Badusha is a traditional Indian sweet made of maida. There are many layers inside and is soft and is coated with crystallized sugar outside. Badushas are usually prepared during Diwali. Tasty badushas can be prepared at home with this simple recipe. So, surprise your family and guests this Diwali, with homemade badushas.
Take maida, ghee, khova, soda and salt in a mixing bowl. Knead the dough with water to the consistency of chapathi dough.
