mini badhusha recipe

Badhusha is a super flaky popular Indian sweet loved by everyone because of its mild sweetness. This classic dessert is also called BALUSHAHI  in northern part of India. It is prepared during festival occasions like diwali and other occasion like wedding. Badhusha is my amma’s favourite sweet.  It has got crispy outer covering and flaky, juicy and soft inner part.  Five years back, when I first tried donut in US, it tasted almost like badhusha 😛 , same ingredients like all purpose flour, sugar and butter is used so obviously same taste  😆 This post is very special to me, as it was made by my mom (amma) for my blog and the photo was clicked by my sister in law. This is a bite sized mini badhusha. This is my amma’s second guest post. Last year, my mom made a easy diwali sweet recipe, rava kesari  for my blog.  Mini badhusha recipe is not that difficult sweet, so give it try for coming diwali, you will love it 😛 .

Notes
You have to dip the badhusha when it is hot and keep the badhusha in syrup until you fry the second one..similarly do it for the rest of the badhusha
Do not fry the badhusha in high flame the inside won't get cooked.
Lemon juice is added to prevent crystallization of sugar.
you can double or triple the recipe as you prefer.
You can also add saffron to the sugar syrup, if you like.
