To make syrup, take a pan and add one cup of water and sugar in it. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
-When the syrup starts boiling, add food color as per your choice and keep stirring for about 2 minutes.
-If you are adding saffron then crush it and also add crushed cardamom. Cook until the syrup is completely ready.
– Take a few pieces of dough and roll them into smooth balls. Flatten them slightly with your palms and make a depression in the center using your thumb or the back of a spoon.
– Heat ghee or oil in a pan and fry the Balushahi on low flame until it becomes golden brown and crisp.
– After frying, dip the Balushahi in syrup and leave it for about 2 to 3 minutes.
– Decorate with pistachios and dry fruits on top.
-Your crispy and delicious Balushahi is ready to serve
