Description

Balushahi, also known as Badusha in South India, is a classic Indian sweet prepared using maida (refined flour), ghee, and sugar syrup. The dough is shaped into round discs with a slight indentation, deep-fried at low temperatures to achieve a crisp outer layer and soft, flaky interior, and then coated with a light sugar glaze. Unlike syrup-soaked sweets, Balushahi has a slightly dry texture with a mild crunch, making it unique among traditional mithai. It is widely enjoyed during festivals like Diwali, weddings, and special occasions, and is also popular as a premium sweet in retail shops and gifting hampers.
