Diwali Special - Balushahi

Ingredients -

All purpose flour (maida)- 2 cup
Curd (thick) - 3/4 cup
Clarified butter (pure ghee) - 3/4 cup
Sugar - 2 cup
Water - for syrup 2 cup
Cardamom - 3-4
Oil - for frying

Method -

Take a large plate and put maida in it. Mix ghee in it nicely with your hands.
when ghee is thoroughly mixed in it, add curd and knead it to make a smooth dough.
Cover it with a plate and keep it for 2 hours.
Heat a deep frying pan with oil in it. Now make small balls out of the dough, giving it a round shape. Press it in the middle with your thumb, twisting it a little so a swirling design is made.
It will make around 15- 16 balls. Deep fry it in oil until it turns dark brown on both the sides. Keep it aside.

 

                                 

For the syrup -
 
Heat another pan and put sugar and water in it. Boil until it becomes thick and turns into a double thread like consistency and the water is reduced to one cup.
Remove it from fire and put all the balushahis in it and coat it nicely with the syrup on both the sides. Place it in a serving bowl and sprinkle powdered cardamom on it.
You can also put silver leaf on it. 
Enjoy this tasty sweet with all your family members and friends on Diwali.
