BADHUSHA | BADUSHA RECIPE - WITH VIDEO
I love badusha from my childhood,the time I even hate sweets! The reason is its not too sweet and mild in sweetness. Also I love both home made badusha and the sweet stall one,both has a unique taste and texture. My mom makes very often,if some relatives visit us or if we were visiting them,then she will make this in a jiffy,I used to help her.
But this recipe and method are different and bit time consuming,than my mom’s version,still I loved to try it out for its texture,so I tried,I tried two years back for Diwali and this diwali too I tried. It came out good without disappointing me and my H loved it. This time I even passed some to Jeyashri and she too love it.
I made now for a special occasion,our anniversary.. And then,I wanted to have it in my blog with my measurements,so I tried today to click stepwise pictures. It came out very well.And why I made this for blogging sake…no,not only for that,this is for two special friends,I will update that in facebook later. The original method and recipe where I referred for is Jasu’s Blog. Please see her blog for the detailed method to fold the ends if you set to try this out of your own.
This recipe gives a good texture to the badusha if we just follow the given method.
Ingredients:
| Maida/All purpose flour | 1 & 1/2 cups |
| Butter+oil | 1/4 cup+1/8 cup |
| Sugar | 1/2 tsp |
| Curd | 1& 1/2 tsp |
| Cooking soda/sodium bi carbonate | 2 pinches |
| Water | 1/4 cup (approx.) |
| Oil | for deep frying |
For Syrup:
| Sugar | 1/2 cup |
| Water | Just to immerse the sugar |
| Elachi powder | 2 pinches |
| Saffron | Optional,A pinch |
| Lemon Juice | 1 tsp |
Method:
- Melt butter and add oil,sugar,curd and sodium –bi-carb. to it and use a whisk to mix well,to make it almost frothy.Add the flour to it.
-
- Mix well to make it crumbly. Add water to make it dough,please be careful when adding,the 1/4 cup is what I used,it was just right,still you adjust accordingly. Make it to a smooth dough without any lumps.
- I kept on kneading for sometime to get a smooth dough..may be 10 mins,I made 11 small lemon sized balls out of it. You can adjust the size accordingly.
5. Now take a ball and pinch the edges and fold it inwards to make rims decoratively as shown in the picture. Repeat to finish everything and keep covered.

6. Meanwhile add sugar to a pan and just add water to immerse it and boil till one string consistency ,i.e; if you pour in little water,it should not dissolve and it should lay a fine thread. Add saffron,elachi if desired and squeeze the lemon juice lastly. Heat oil just enough,check it by adding a pinch of batter,if it rises immediately,then its just right. Dont let the oil fume at any point.
 |
8. Add some five badushas,we prepared ,carefully in to the oil. Remove from fire and let it get cooked in the pre heated oil. Approximately it wud take 5 mins.
9. At one stage the badushas float, then again keep the kadai on fire and cook in medium-low flame,adjust heat at the end to make it golden brown,for me it took around 5-8 mins.
 |
10. Drain in a paper towel and immediately add to the hot sugar syrup,to cover the badusha ,I did this in batches 2-3 at a time. Leave for a minute and then drain the badushas to a greased surface.
 |
After it cools down,the sugar syrup should have turned non sticky,transfer to an clean container. And enjoy!

FOODELICIOUS
Thank you very much for the encouragement shanthi :)
Thanks pari!!
chance eh illa da ... it shows how dedicated blogger u r ... awesome job .. keep up the good work
yummmeeeeeeeeeeeee sooo tempting...
Hi...even sweet haters will get tempted by your picture..its awesome. I tried this badhsha but i dont where i went wrong..when i try to deep fry all the dough got dissolved into the oil... Can you pls suggest me
Hi priya,this could be coz of two things,one is the oil must have been very hot,that is after you drop badushas,you must remove from fire and keep some time OFF fire till it floats...
Second thing is the butter+oil quantity must have been too much... Next time make sure about these things,I am sure it will come out good..
Hey thanks for your comments. Sure i will try out and let you know. I love badhsha from my childhood, after visiting your recipe i got so tempted and desperately want to try that so i tried for diwali but it didn't turnout good. Everything got dissolved in the oil even i thought it should be wrong measurement of ghee and oil. Thanks dear.I love all your recipes and your website. Keep up your good work.
Am speechless,..really it's far better than what u get in shopw..amazing
http://jellybelly-shanavi.blogspot.com
Looks yumm yumm
first time here.....wow what an amazing recipe with detailed explanation. thank u so much for sharing this...looking forward to make this soon...
first time here. Amazing balushahi
Me too first timer. Very Nice clicks and wonderful narration. Will try sometime for my family
Perfect Badushas with clear instructions. Will definetly try this
Hi raks, iam a gr8 fan of your blog, tried your hotel sambhar and it came out well, i stay in malaysia. i have a doubtdo we need to heat the butter to get it melt or just beat it well so that it becomes melt, kindly clarify. and also a suggestion can u also provide us the details as to how many servings your recipe comes, so that it will be easy for adjust accordint to our family size. u rock rak ;)
Hi, It came out wonderful. I did it in the same way and the taste was awesome.
Hi Rak ,
Y'day i made it , it was wonderful happy that i can also make badhusha. Long back i had try but that time it didn't came well it was hard{badhusha} and the sweet didn't entered in it. That time i thought not to prepare it again but after seeing the pic i could not stop my self to make it . thanks dear it was wonderful my hus liked it very much.[ to aviod crystallization u hav told to put lime juice i had put but then to
it got crystall in sugar syrup ]
Krupa, Sorry I just saw your comment, Just heat the butter,when its starts melting remove from fire,dont let it get heated...For the given measurement you can get 11 or 12 badushas :)Thanks for the compliments!!
Radha, Thanks for your feed back,glad it came out well. And regarding crystallizing,lemon juice will prevent forming the white dry layer,thats all,there may be a little grainy texture though.
WOW....this looks amazing,this is a perfect badhusha...I will give this a try..This looks pretty simple if done the right way..i am gonna follow your step step instructions and going to try it..Will try this and let you know how it came ok..BTW..Do check my blog and please follow it...

delicious..............
Thanks a ton for this recipe..i tried it for my hubby's birthday,it was simply awesome.
hi Rak,
thanks dear for such a wonderful online cook-book...my interest in cooking just bbsted up after seeing such colorful proceedings of ur dish preparartion.i always get tired of the same south style of cooking and lo, thru you i was able to try various dishes...i tried the badhusha, my favourite, in turned out ten on ten...thank you very much. and yes, hats off for the qty u mention for every recipe...it really works...i am a great fan of yours...rekha-is that ur name?
hi Rak,
let me thank u for this wonderful cook book u have online.This has really boosted my interest in cooking.I always get bored with the same south style of cooking.but after having seen your website i learnt to try a variety of dishes. hats off to u, for the precise qty u mention for the ingredients....i tried badhusha, my all time favourite, it was a hit.thank u once again, rekha-is that ur name?
Thanks pratibha and Soms-thanks for those lovely words that makes my day brighter! My name is Raji (Rajeswari)..
Hi Raks, Badushah looks sooooo good..I was so tempeted & tried them out immediately but most of my badushas got broken in the oil, sucked a lot of oil etc..I had my heat on very low too..donno wat the problem was..any suggestions? Too much Baking Soda??
Hi preethi, too much soda or may be too much of butter/oil also results this... If it breaks in oil,next time just add 2 or 3 tblsp of flour again and knead to try again,it will work...
Raji...You are the bestest...badhushas came out so well...thanks for the recipe...i have posted this in my blog with a link to this post :)
do visit mine :) http://cookingwithloveandforlove.blogspot.com/
I tried it today Raji, I could'nt get swirls like you, but hubby liked it! so goal achieved!
next time iam gonna watch your swirl making video atleast 20 times before trying it out.
Hi dear, I tried these badhushas and they came out so well...I will be posting this in my blog!!
I loved this recipe the moment I set eyes on it. I love the step by step pictures and explanation of the recipe and wonderful clicks. I made badhusha using this recipe, it came out very well. I did try to make the border seeing your video but wasn't so successful in it, maybe next time. I am going to blog this recipe too and I would like your permission to link back to your website.
Thanks and Regards

Thank you so much for trying varshini, sravs, lavi and sukanya :) Sukanya, sure you can link :) thank you!
Hi
I am going to try badushah this diwali.Is baking soda and cooking soda the same?Or is it same as baking powder?
Thanks
Shalini
Shalu baking soda and cooking soda are same. It's not baking powder. Let me know how it turned out to be.
Hi Raji,
thanks for the recipe.. though i had a problem of hardening of the end product.. it did not turn out fluffy like ur photo..i did not do the process of removing the kadai from the fire after dropping the badushas..did that cause the problem??
rgds,Rajalakshmi
Hi Raji,
I am not 100% sure about not puffing. But Why we remove the kadai from fire is to cook the badushas slowly so that the flaky layers form inside.
Happy Diwali to you and your loved ones...A big "Thank you" for lighting up my life with your perfect recipies, esp. the Badhusha..it's amazingly perfect..!
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions. Found it very helpful while making badhushas. Mine did not turn out perfectly. It did not puff(probably my cooking soda is not very fresh?) and regarding the flakiness,it was not very flaky probably because I did not start off the oil heating at a very low heat. Could these be my problems?
Hi ! I made it and tasted awesome ! Its a hit and whoever tasted are full of praise. I owe it to you. Thanks,Dear .
hi i loved ur detail narration , as my husband is a sweet lover i tried badushah (i was happy bcs its free from dalda/vanaspati) , but the dough became too smooth that it started dissolving in oil....so atlast i gave up the idea and made burfy from the dough ! if u find any mistakes in the making pls help me out,,, bcs i don't want ot give up !
Hi meera,
If it happens next time, try adding more flour (1/4 cup) And knead well again and try. If needed, sprinkle a tsp of water. That happens because if the ghee/oil/cooking soda is too much. Hope it will help :) And I love your confidence!
Hi I tried these came out perfect but last step did not work out for me. The syrup did not go inside so inside it was just not sweet. please help what mistake i would have done
Hi I tried these came out really well except the sweet part. The syrup would not go in so it was not sweet. could u pls help. Thanks.
Hi priya, was your syrup hot enough ? otherwise next time, try adding the badushas when it is hot to the hot syrup. This will sure help.
Wow..its wonderful..mouth watering sweet and ur clicks are great and it looks very professional..bookmarked and will try it soon..
