Ingredients:
- All purpose flour 2/3 cup
- Yogurt/curd 1/3cup
- Sugar 1 tbsp
- Baking powder 1/3tsp
- Cardamom powder 2 pinches
- Ghee 1 tsp
Method:
- You need to makeanicesoft doughusingtheflour, yogurt,baking powder,sugar(1tbspn)
cardamom powder and ghee.Add enough ghee so the dough doesn’t stick to your fingers.
- This will form a nice soft dough which you need to set away for about an hour.
- Then make balls of the dough and a thumb impression on the centre of each ball.
- Deep fry these flattened balls on very low heat.They will turn golden gradually.
For the sugar coating :
- Sugar 2/3rd cup
- Water 2/3rd cup
- Seeds of one cardamom pod.
You need to add both the sugar and water on low temperature until the sugar dissolves
and then heat on low flame until the sugar syrup reaches a one string consistency(when
you take the syrup and let it drop from the spoon it should fall forming a string)
Once you fry the balls coat each of them in the sugar syrup and let it dry.Once they are
dry, there you have yummy baadushas ready to eat :)
Tips:
1.Add enough ghee to the flour mix so it doesn’t stick to your fingers.2.I read from the original recipe that you need to make the thumb impression because of
the added baking powder or else the balls will go fluffy while frying.
3.Since you need to fry the balls on the low heat, you can make the sugar syrup while
frying the balls or else if the syrup cools down it crystallizes(i learnt from my mistake)
4.Don’t worry about the sugar consistency it will come about gradually in about 10 mins
of low heating the sugar and water.
