Ingredients Serving: 10

500 gm maida/flour
1 tsp baking soda
150 gm ghee
1/2 cup fresh dahi or curd
1 tsp elaichi/ cardamom powder
400 gm sugar
Oil or ghee to deep fry
Some pistachios to garnish

Instructions

Take a bowl, add in the maida, next add in the baking powder, ghee, elaichi powder and curd.
Mix all of this together and make a soft dough. Cover and keep it aside for 45 mins.
After 45 minutes, it will become light, then take a ball from the dough. Press it with your palms to make a hole in the middle. Follow this process with the rest of the dough.
Deep fry them in batches on a low flame till they come floating on top and gain a nice colour.
Now heat a deep pan on flame, then heat sugar and 1 cup of water together to make a thick chasni/ syrup.
Put all the fried ballu shahi in it and cook for 5 minutes. (If needed add a little water.)
Put all the ballu shahis on a greased plate.
Once they are cooled, garnish them with pistachios and serve.
