Ingredients used in BALUSHAHI

Method:

• Sift refined flour and soda bicarbonate together into a bowl.
• Rub in two-thirds cup of olive oil into the flour mixture till it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Add beaten yogurt and knead into soft dough. Cover and allow it to rest for forty-five minutes.
• Divide into twelve equal portions and shape into smooth balls. Take care not to overwork the dough.
• Make a slight dent in the center of the ball with your thumb. Keep the balls covered.
• Heat sufficient oilin a kadai and when it is medium hot, add the prepared dough balls and deep fry on very low heat. If necessary you may place a tawa below the kadai so that the oil does not get too hot.
• Gradually the balushahis will start floating to the top. Turn gently and fry on the other side till golden. The entire process may take around half an hour to forty-five minutes.
• Drain and allow to cool to room temperature. This can be an overnight process.
• Heat together sugar and one cup of water till it reaches a two-string consistency. Midway through add milk to the cooking syrup so that the scum rises to the surface. Carefully remove this scum and discard.
• Remove the syrup from heat and soak the fried balushahis in it for thirty minutes.
• Gently remove the balushahis from the sugar syrup and place on a serving plate. Garnish with pistachios. Serve when the sugar has hardened.
