Makhan Bada

Makhan Bada is a traditional dessert originating from the state of Rajasthan[2][3] in Indian subcontinent.[4] It is also known as Balusaahi and is similar to a glazed doughnut in terms of ingredients, but differs in texture and taste. Makhan Bada also resembles Rajasthani Baati in terms of size & preparation but resembles more with Medu Vada in terms of shape. In South India, a similar pastry is known as badusha.

Preparation

Makhan Badas are made of maida flour, and are deep-fried in clarified butter and then dipped in sugar syrup.[5][6] A stiff dough is made with all-purpose flour, ghee and a pinch of baking soda. One-inch-diameter (25 mm), 1⁄2-inch-thick (13 mm) discs are shaped by hand, fried in ghee or oil and dunked in thick sugar syrup to make a sugar coating. They are very sweet, but tasty with a slightly flaky texture.
