I can say I have no limitations when it comes to sweets. From my childhood days badusha is my fav sweet so since the day I started cooking, making badusha was a dream to me. I got the recipe from ammas old binding book and first time tried it for last diwali but could post it. And after that have been making it since a year and should say it has got me the most appreciations.
I have been making badushas since a year , I should say this recipe has not let down anytime. I have served the guests, took it to office only to get more and more appreciations.
Can you see the layers inside, soft juicy and yumm. I am sure you cannot stop with one. What are you still waiting for , try it for yourself ! ๐

Badusha Recipe – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 20 mins | Cooking Time : 25 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Sweet | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Recipe Category: Sweet | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Maida – 1 and 1/2 cups
Butter(at room temperature) – 1/4 cup
Oil – 1.5 tbsp
Curd – 2 tbsp
Cooking Soda – 1/2 tsp
Sugar – 1 tsp
Water – 1/4 cup(+ or – adjust accordingly)
Oil – as required for deep frying
For the sugar syrup:
Sugar- 1/2 cup
Water – 3/4 cup
Elachi powder – a generous pinch
Saffron – 2 strands
Lemon Juice – 3/4 tsp
Method:
- Melt butter, In a mixing bowl add melted butter, curd, oil, cooking soda, sugar and mix it well. Now add maida and mix.
- Mix well , it will look like bread crumbs. Then add water little by little to form a soft dough. Knead it again for 10 mins. Divide lemon sized balls and keep aside. Allow it to rest for 10 mins.
- Start shaping the badushas. You can make decorative ends as swirls or simply just like dougnuts by pressing the balls, making a dent with your thumb in the middle as shown below. See the video below the steps for making badusha swirls. When you shape them itself the badushas should be smooth…there should not be much cracks (for this kneading it to a soft pilable dough is very much important) because when we fry the badushas in oil, the cracks would open up big and sometimes they may even start to break.
- Add sugar and water in a pan to make the sugar syrup. When the sugar syrups forms to a single string consistency then add saffron strands, elachi powder and lemon juice(this is to avoid crystallisation), keep aside. Simultaneously while making the sugar syrup itself you can start frying the badusha.
To be noted: It is very important to fry it only in this method to get perfect layered badushas : First heat oil in a kadai – check by adding a pinch of the batter if it rises immediately then that is the correct stage. Now add some 3 badushas and immediately switch off the stove.Let the badushas get cooked in the preheated oil….When the shh sounds leaves and the bubbles disappear, then switch it on. Keep in medium low flame, flip it to other side once it gets browned on one side and fry until golden brown(Do not fry in high flame). Follow the same procedure for frying the remaining badushas.
- Drain it in tissue then add it to the prepared sugar syrup immediately. Dip well on both sides, keep immersed for 2mins then transfer it to a tray with butter paper/silver foil. Once the sugar syrup turns non-sticky you can take and store them. It tastes too good when left for 2-3 hours, Only then the sugar syrup gets sets well inside.
I made hubby go nuts while recording the video, I think he shot around 10 videos ๐ hehe and finally this was ok for me ๐ Guess he would have cursed me enough though didnt show it outside ๐
I hope its clear and understandable. This is easy but sure comes by practise- trust me if I can get it, anyone can get it right too ๐
I learnt making these swirls from Raks Kitchen – demonstrated in her site
My Notes:
- The orginal recipe says to remove the kadai from fire then keeping it back. But instead I follow the switching off and on method for convenience.
- Do not fry the badushas in high flame. While frying if it cracks / breaks either kneading was not enough or the flame should have been high so make sure you knead for 10mins to get a very soft dough and also fry in medium low flame.
- Keep stored in a clean container(do not refrigerate), it keeps well for 4-5 days in room temperature itself.
- Badushas with the decorative rims are slightly crispy at the ends alone, while the donut shaped ones are juicy and soft.
- Do not add more saffron than the mentioned amount as it will totally change the flavour and spoil the taste.

October 24, 2011 at 4:45 amSharmi, I tried and was good, one thing is after my first batch dipped in sugar syrup, before 2nd batch my sugar syrup become very think and crystalized though i added lemon. Then i again added some water with lemon and boiled it.
Sharmilee! :) says
October 24, 2011 at 4:49 am@Priya: Oh is it?! I added lemon juice to avoid crystallisation. But if you still have that pblm then add little water and boil it for 2-3 mins to get that consistency back.Hope this helps!

January 9, 2012 at 4:53 amhi, very nice recipe, min till frying it comes good, but once i put in sugar syrip, no matter if i leave for 5 min or min it will not soak up enough sugar syrup, inside it will bee batter seen white color, how to make it i don't know.
some says for badusha dough should not be kneaded but to make oft dough, is it true.
waiting for reply about sugar syrup tip
jyothi
Sharmilee! :) says
January 9, 2012 at 5:41 am@Jyothi : If its cooked as per the instructions it will not be uncooked, and it will be juicy inside after soaking in the sugar syrup.I doubt on your frying part….
About kneading – it depends on thr recipe we choose but this recipe calls for kneading….Hope this helps!
Anonymous says
January 15, 2012 at 12:03 pmhi, thanks for your immediate reply , i tried same recipe for pongal, i followed step by step your insttructions and tips for deep frying, first batch bit cracked may be the soda was too much, so i added some more flour and tried.
Shape, taste, sweet evrything was ok, but it was not like your badusha. Seeing your badusha i can tell it is light and flaky, but mine was bit dense and heavy. but taste was good, not bad. if you know the reason please reply as i just wanted to get badusha just like yours as perfect as yours.

Ram Prasanth Jahadhishan says
July 15, 2012 at 12:53 pmSharmili, Really it has come out well… Got appreciation from friends as well. I would like to share few mistakes i have done.
1. Sugar Syrup consistency – Switch off stove when u r about to get the single string consistency. otherwise if you let it to boil even for minute will change syrup very thick.
2. We can reduce the quantity of lemon juice to 1/2 tbsp as the sugar syrup got the sour taste of lemon though i had put only 3/4 tbsp as per instructions.
3. Do not put Badusha's too bigger in size as the Badhusha will become crispy outer and the raw dough will remain uncooked at the center.
Sharmili these are the mistakes i have done, even then it has come very well and i guess practice brings perfection..
Thanks a lot.
Sharmilee! :) says
July 15, 2012 at 1:11 pm@Neela : No neela only baking soda should be used
Sharmilee! :) says
July 15, 2012 at 1:17 pm@RamPrasanth : That is really nice to hear, am sure the tips will be useful.
uma says
August 8, 2012 at 9:41 amFollowed the recipe to a T and it disintegrated in the oil – any idea why?
Sharmilee! :) says
August 8, 2012 at 10:25 am@Uma : If butter and soda is slightly more then it will start breaking up while frying in oil…
uma says
August 9, 2012 at 2:26 pmVersion 2 is fantastic!!
Reduced butter to 1/4 cup loosely packed instead of fully packed.
Increased maida to 2 cups.
Decreased soda to 1/8 tsp ( had used 1/4 tsp first time).
Followed the frying technique from here http://www.khanapakana.com/cooking-video/00ac48c9-4892-4c17-bc52-409f0efa5624/balu-shahi-and-shakar-paray-shakarpary#
It is similar to your method, only the flame is turned off at the end instead of the beginning.
I am not fond of this sweet ( FIL loves it and am making for him); but this is truly delicious and far far better than a doughnut!!
Thank You!!

February 5, 2013 at 6:53 amI made this yesterday. I have replaced cooking soda with backing soda, i didn't get any layers. Any tips will help.
Sharmilee! :) says
February 5, 2013 at 10:13 amNot sure what went wrong…the layers will surely form if cooked in the above said method, heating switching off and then cooking in preheated oil.
Sangee says
February 6, 2013 at 4:57 amHai sharmi i tried your badushas yesterday but its slightly hard inside and sugar syrup is not absorbed in the middle of the badusha may i know why?
Sharmilee! :) says
February 6, 2013 at 7:04 amIf the badushas are not cooked under correct heat then it may turn hard and the dough consistency and kneading also matters….
Sangee says
February 6, 2013 at 8:34 amI forgot to say one thing i didnt add cooking soda as its not available here whether this can be a reason.
Sharmilee! :) says
February 6, 2013 at 9:38 amOh no soda is a must for this recipe which gives a soft texture…next time please try with soda.

priya ilan says
May 28, 2013 at 10:52 amHi sharmi… I have badusha today but it dint comes out well..it was too spongy..when I making dough…before adding water, the dough consistency become smooth even, ihavent add a little bit of water..and also when I drop the badushas into the oil ..I can see some cracks into it..what could be the reason?
SHARMILEE J says
May 28, 2013 at 10:59 amYou should knead the dough till smooth so that while shaping there are no cracks formed.If the dough is not of correct consistency, then it will crack out.Hope this helps!
priya ilan says
May 28, 2013 at 12:11 pmAs I told u that my dough consistency becomes smooth…my mistake was add cooking soda's ratio is little ,more than the recipes ratio….and also I felt the raw smell of the flour

November 11, 2015 at 1:05 pmHi Sharmi mam. Your recipes are simply awesome. You're doing a great job. I am learning many traditional sweets from your site. I tried Badhusha today, used same ingredients and measures that you have mentioned. It tastes really awesome. However I have one concern how you'll be able to help me out with it. The Badhusha was nice and soft, juicy but like you said it was not in layers inside. It almost liked like Gulab jamun inside. The layers were but proper and also the Badhusha was not flat, when fried in oil they became puffed up and became almost round. What could have gone wrong any idea? However am happy it dint crack. Thank you in advance.

December 2, 2015 at 7:58 amMithra, if the layers are not formed then I guess problem is in cooking method or the kneading was not enough?! But as you say it didnt crack then I doubt in the cooking method only
