#  Procedure Of Making Balushahi..

1. Sieve the maida with baking powder so that it could mix evenly.

2. Then add deshi ghee and curd in the maida and mix it with light hands.

3. Now bind the semi soft dough with the help of  little water.
Don't make it smooth as we do for poori or paranthe.
Remember...You have to just gather and bind the dough...So that Balushahi would be crispy, khasta,soft and layered.

The dough should be semi soft.

4. Now keep the dough aside for 25 minutes for resting.

5. Meanwhile prepare the sugar syrup on high flame.
Just add sugar and water in a pan.
Stir it till the sugar dissolves completely.

6. Cook the sugar syrup for 5 minutes only till 1 strand consistency.
Add the cardamom powder and melted saffron in 1 table spoon water.
Off the flame and cover it.
Because we need warm sugar syrup for dipping the Balushahi.

7.Now grease your hands and roll the dough with light hands.

8. Cut the loi evenly from the dough...As we prepare the loi for poori or kachori.
You can make 15 small size baalushahi from this dough.

9. Just take a loi ( little portion of dough ), round it on your palm then flat it with the edges of your palm and lastly press it in the center with your thumb on the both sides.....So that while trying it can cook properly.

10. Like wise prepare all the balushahi and keep aside in a plate.

11. Now place a kadhai with ghee or oil on the slow flame.
We need a very less heat for frying Balushahi.

12. Just check the oil by dropping a very little portion of dough.....If it floats...Then oil is ok.

13. Now firstly... fry the balushahi on the slow flame...As it floats above...Then keep the flame on slow medium and flip them.

14. Just flip and fry all the Balushahi till the light golden brown.
Frying of Balushahi will take 8 to 10 minutes in one batch.
If you are frying all the Balushahi in one batch....Then it will take 15 to 20 minutes.

15. After frying them, immediately dip them in the warm sugar syrup with the help of a big spoon...
So that it can absorb the sugar syrup well.

16. Let them dip for 15 minutes for a nice taste.

17. Transfer them in a plate and garnish them with chopped pistachios.
Stick the pista well in the sugar syrup of Balushahi.

Delicious and tempting 'Balushahi'.. are ready to serve.

# Note...

1. Just bind the dough with light hands for perfect texture.
Don't make it smooth.

2. Fry the Balushahi on the slow medium flame...For cooking and frying well.

3. After frying ... Immediately dip them in the lukewarm sugar syrup so that it could absorb the sugar syrup well.

4. You can store it till 15 days because it is sugar coated and mawa free.
