1 Cup – All-purpose flour/Whole wheat flour (Maida)
¼ tbsp- Baking Powder

Method-
Sugar Syrup- In a pan take 4 cups of water & add sugar & cardamom powder to make thick syrup.
Ø Sieve flour & baking powder together&mix.
Ø Add clarified butter to it and mix well.
Ø Gradually add the enough curd to form a rough dough.Do not knead it too much in order to avoid gluten-formation and keep it aside.
Ø Meanwhile, In a wok take enough oil for deep frying and put on medium-low flame.
Ø Once the dough has been rested for about 25minutes, knead it again just once or twice.
Ø Make small rolls in balushahis kind of shape.
 NOTE-To make these rolls, rotate the above palm in clockwise direction so that rough edges come with one-directional layers that’s what we want.

Ø Pour the rolls in hot oil on low flame and keep on stirring without touching the rolls.
Ø Turn the rolls and bake well from both sides. The size of rolls will be doubled once done.
Ø Take them out and keep one by one in warm sugar syrup for about 10 seconds.
Garnish sliced pistachios on hot balushahis.


This will be an ideal sweet for home& near-dear ones for Diwali or any festive season or celebrations.
