Balushahi !!!

I was searching for sweet dishes to make for Diwali and guess what I found out...
Balushahi ...
In my childhood, we usually have this sweet in every wedding we go and I loved it. I thought it was difficult to make, as always used to buy it from the sweet shop... But today, I can say that . ... it is not at all difficult...
here is the recipe :-
Ingredients:
Maida ( all purpose flour) 1-1/2 cup
Baking soda 1/4 tsp
Cardamom powder 1/4 tsp
Yogurt (curd or dahi) 3/4 cup
Ghee( clarified butter) 1/2 cup
Water 1/2 cup(accordingly)
Nuts for garnishing and rose petals also ( if u have some)
Ghee (clarified Butter) 3 cup for frying

For making the syrup:
Sugar 750 gm
Water 1 cup
Lemon juice 3-4 drops
Cardamom Powder 1/2 tsp

Sieve flour and baking soda together and add the ghee (1/2cup) in it.. The ghee should be cooled b4 adding to the flour. Mix these together. The mixture will be little crumbly. Now add the cardamom powder and the yogurt. Now make the dough using some water( luke warm). The dough should be stiff. Now keep the dough aside for 1/2 hr.
In the meanwhile, Make the sugar syrup. In a pan, add the sugar and water together and let it boil. The sugar shud be completely dissolved. Add little lemon juice to avoid re-crystallization of the sugar particles. Now add the cardamom powder. Off the flame and let it cool.
Now heat the 3 cup Ghee in a pan.After the ghee is hot, lower the flame now. Now make balls from the dough u kneaded before. Make small balls and press one side with ur thumb so as to make a hole(not complete hole, just the impression). Now put 2-3 balls in ghee and let it cook in slow flame. Do not turn the frying ball until one side is pink colored.
Fry all the balls and put them in the sugar syrup. Let them stay in the syrup for some time...
Remove the balushahi from the syrup and keep aside on a wire mesh so as to remove the excess syrup.
Now decorate the balushahi with the nuts and rose petals... the way you wish...
You can store the balushahi in the air tight container after they are cooled. You can keep it for a week, but I doubt it as they will be gone the day u make it... :)
Enjoy eating !!!!!!!!
