Ingredients:

All Purpose Flour / Maida - 1 1/2 cup 

Soft Unsalted Butter( dalda will be prefect) - 1/4 cup

Thick Unsour Curd / Yogurt - 2 tblspn

Baking Soda (Cooking Soda) - 1/2 tsp

Sugar - 2 tsp

Water as needed

Oil for Deep Frying 

For Sugar Syrup:

Sugar - 1 cup

Water - 1 cup

Cardamom Powder - 1 tsp

Method:

Take butter, sugar, curd, baking soda in a bowl and mix well. Once it is mixed, add in flour and mix well,it resembles bread crumbs..Now add in water little by little and mix well to a soft dough. Allow this dough to rest for 15 mins while you make the sugar syrup.

Take sugar and water in a pan and mix well. Put it on heat and bring it to boil. Cook till it reaches one string consistency. If you take some syrup between your thumb and fore finger and strech it a string should form. This is the stage..Now add in cardamom powder and keep the syrup warm. Dont boil too much.

Now take the dough and divide it into small balls. Take a ball, flatten it and make a hole in the center. Make all the dough the similar way. 

Now heat oil for deep frying. The oil should never smoke..First test the oil, drop a small dough into the oil, first it should sink , then rises immediately. This is the right consistency. Drop 4 to 5 badusha at a time and immediately decrease the heat to the lowest as possible and cook for 7 to 10 mins till is light golden coloured and cooked..Dont increase the flame.It should be always on low.

Now drain it and add it to the syrup Let it soak for 2 mins. Drain it and set aside

Leave the basusha for 2 hours them enjoy..

Notes:

The measurement are very important. If you mess with that then your badusha will get hard.

Don't  knead the dough so much, just knead it till it gets little soft and leave it aside.
