Balu Shahi

Balu Shahi 

Today I am presenting an Indian sweet dish, named Balu Shahi.

Ingredients 

For Balu Shaahi :-

Allpurpose Flour (Maida) – 225 gm.

Ghee – 125 gm

Warm milk/ curd – 2 tbsp

Baking Powder  – 1 tsp

Warm Water – 1 tsp

For Syrup :

Sugar – 250 gm

Water – 2 cups

Procedure

1. Sieve the flour in a mixing bowl and add the heated ghee and baking powder.
2. Rub the mixture in your hands, gradually adding milk/ curd and warm water and mix into a stiff dough.
3. Break off a small portion of the dough into a ball, flatten it and make a deep hole through the center.
4. To prepare the syrup, boil the sugar and water together in a large pan for 15 minutes; the syrup should be quite sticky.
5. Heat the ghee in a frying pan.
6. Fry the balu shahi quite slowly until they are golden brown.
7. When they are fully done, put them in the warm syrup  for a few minutes, shaking the pan frequently to let them become well-coated with syrup.
8. Take them out singly from the pan and place on a shallow dish.

:- Serve cold or hot.
