Happy Diwali to all my readers! I am going to share the recipe for a soft and juicy Badhusha. Unlike my other Badhusha recipe, I have used baking soda and baking powder in this one asking with butter and water.
Your will need the following ingredients (Makes about 15 pieces)
For the dough:
All purpose flour / Maida 1 1/2 cups (sifted)
Butter 1/4 cup melted
Water 3/4 cup (at room temperature)
Baking soda 1/4 tsp
Baking powder 1/2 tsp
For the sugar syrup:
Sugar 1 1/2 cups
Water 1 1/2 cups
In a bowl, add the sifted flour, baking soda and baking powder and give it a good mix. Make a well in the middle of the flour and pour the butter and 1/2 cup of water.
Now gently mix the flour into this and make a soft dough. Remember that we need a soft dough. We don't have to vigorously mix or knead and make a tight or elastic dough. Use the remaining water as needed, to make the dough.
I made a couple of batches, so I had to use 2 different packets of the flour. When I made dough with one packet, I had 2 tbsp of water left. But for the next batch made using another packet, I used up all the water to make the dough.
Let the dough rest for about 15 to 20 minutes.
I used a tbsp to measure the dough for each of the Badhushas so that each one will be of the same size. Make smooth balls and make a dent in the middle with your thumb and press gently and cover with a lid.
Heat a deep pan with cooking oil and put a few badhushas, depending on the size of your pan. Please remember that the oil should be slight hot and you should keep the stove on low flame when dropping the Badhushas in the oil.
Once they start floating in the surface of the oil, you can increase the flame to medium and cook by turning them in between. If the flame is high, they will turn brown quickly, but will not get cooked in the inside.
Take them out when they are golden brown in color on both sides. Once you finish frying all the pieces, you can make the sugar syrup.
Heat another pan, put the sugar and the water and keep stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let it boil. The consistency of the sugar syrup should be sticky and no string consistency is needed.
Now put a few pieces of the badhushas into the syrup at one time and let it soak for 10 minutes on one side, then turn them over and soak for another 10 minutes.
Look how soft it is and it has absorbed the sugar syrup so well that it is dripping...😋
Garnish with some crushed pistachios and enjoy the soft and juicy Badhushas.
Happy Diwali 🎇🪔🪔.
