Ingredients

Maida/all purpose flour/plain flour - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 tsp
Water - 1/4 cup
Baking soda-1/2 tsp
Curd - 2 tbsp
Oil - 1.5 tbsp
Butter - 1/2 cup

For sugar syrup

Sugar - 1 cup
Water - 1 cup

Step by step instructions

In a bowl, add butter, maida flour, sugar, baking soda, oil & curd. Mix them well together.

Knead them in to a soft dough by adding little water.

In a thick bottomed pan, add sugar and water.

Add 1/2 tsp of milk to the sugar syrup to remove dirt from it.

Divide the soft dough and make them into balls. Fold the edges for getting the shape of badusha swirls. 

In a thick bottomed pan add oil. Once the oil gets heated, slide the badusha's one by one and fry them in batches.

Fry them till golden brown.

Meanwhile, the sugar syrup turns into one string consistency. Switch off the gas and add cardamoms and saffron (optional).

Soak the badusha's in the sugar syrup for 2 minutes.

Chop pistachios for garnishing the badushas.

Yummy spongy badushas ready to serve. Rich flavoured sweet for all occassions.
