Balushahi recipe is a traditional sweet originating from India. It is also called Badusha in South India. Balushahi is a crunchy, sweetened Indian doughnut-like dessert that is a favorite during Diwali, among other special occasions.

Though the texture and taste of the balushahi recipe differ from a doughnut, it is crispy from the outside and soft from the inside, unlike doughnuts, which are soft from the inside out. The Balushahi recipe is moist and a bit flaky on the inside. Also, you can enjoy this delicious dessert on any occasion such as for new year celebrations. Without delay let’s learn about this amazing, mouth-watering dish.

How To Prepare Balushahi

• In a medium bowl, mix flour, salt, 1tbsp of baking powder, and date syrup.
• After this, add desi ghee, whole wheat atta, and yogurt and gently mix to make a dough. Then cover the dough bowl with a cotton cloth and keep it aside for 10 minutes.

Make Syrup For Balushahi:

• To begin with, add date syrup, water, saffron, and cardamom to a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil.
• On a low flame, simmer it for 3 to 5 minutes or until you get a one-string consistency. Turn off the flame and set it aside.

Air Fry Balushahi

• Now, preheat the air fryer to 350 for 5 minutes.
• Again, gently knead the dough and make balls (5-7). Shape each ball into a round and then lightly press it down to form a disc.
• On the balls, make a hole through the center with the help of your index finger. This step helps the center cook evenly. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Line the air fryer basket with butter paper. Then, place the balushahi on the butter paper (keep a distance between them).
• Air fry for 15 minutes at 320°F. If the balushahi are not lightly golden-brown, air fry them again at 370 F for 2-3 minutes.
• Gently place the balushahi in the warm date syrup and allow them to soak for 15-20 minutes.
• Finally, garnish with thinly sliced pista, edible dried rose petals, soaked almonds, and raisins. Then, your balushahi is ready to serve.
