Instructions
For the dough
In a mixing bowl, add all purpose flour, yogurt, salt, unsalted butter, and baking soda.
Gently rub the flour for 2 minutes or until the butter incorporated well with the flour.
Then add little water at a time, and gently combine the flour to make dough(use your fingers than the palm-too much of knead make the badhusha hard).
Rest it for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 16 equal sized balls.
Gently pat a ball in between the palms to make a ½ inch thick circle.
Repeat this process for the remaining balls as well.
For the syrup
Meanwhile, over medium heat, place a sauce pan. Add sugar and water.
Bring it to boil, and cook till 'long one string consistency'.
Add lemon juice. Remove from the heat and combine well.
For the frills(optional)
For frills-pinch a little on the edges and fold it.
Repeat pinch and fold to the entire round.
Do the same for remaining balls. Set aside.
For the making
Over medium heat, in a deep frying pan, add vegetable oil.
When the oil becomes medium-hot add badusha one after the other without crowding the pan.
Fry badusha until becomes golden brown evenly.
Then, soak each batch of fried Badusha in the sugar syrup for roughly about 4 min.
Remove it and complete this process for the remaining batches as well.
Arrange entire badusha in a tray and sprinkle saffron / almond slices.
Serve and store the rest in an airtight container.
Notes
Adding lemon juice is to avoid sugar crystallization.
