2 hrs 30 mins

1 Cup (250 gms)

Baking Soda (Sodi Bi-Carbonate)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

For the BALUSHAHI dough: We need to mix in a large bowl 4 tbsp ghee & 3/4 tbsp Plain Curd (using the same spoon)- Give it a nice mix...then, add in two batches the 1 Cup Maida & 1/4 tsp of Baking Powder & Soda each...post sifting well

* Step 2

Now, prepare the dough with the given measurements- allow it to sit/rest for at least 20-30 mins. Post covering the bowl

* Step 3

Now, while the dough is resting- prepare the sugar syrup/chasni, following the given measurements...add to it, a thin slice of lemon juice to avoid crystallising

* Step 4

Coming back to the dough, give it the shape of the donuts 🍩 & it should yield about 12-15 pieces, according to the sizes maintained

* Step 5

Take a Wok/Kadhai for deep frying the BALUSHAHI- use ONLY vegetable/refined oil, take the oil generously, fry them in batches & leaving spaces between them- not more than 7/8 pieces in a batch

* Step 6

The flame need be absolutely in it's LOW all along the frying procedures...need to flip their sides very carefully & cautiously

* Step 7

Once done, take them out in the strainer/kitchen towel & then put them back to the prepared warm sugar syrup for getting immersed- each sides for about a minute or so & the process should be repeated 3/4 times min. Our BALUSHAHI is now, all set to go... put the stage on fire 🔥😋👍🏻
