Rajasthani Balushahi

🇮🇳 Indian

Balushahi, flaky discs that dissolve the moment they touch the tongue. Ghee, sugar, patience — the three ingredients in every Indian celebration. Serve at room temperature, cut small — sweetness needs no size.

Prep 28 min Cook 41 min Serves 6 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out every ingredient measured and ready; Indian sweets move fast once the heat is on.

  2. 2

    Put the all-purpose flour and yogurt on a steady medium flame and commit to stirring — sweets test your patience.

  3. 3

    Stir through the long middle stage until the mixture looks cohesive and smells toasty and rich.

  4. 4

    Add the sugar, cardamom and any nuts or saffron; fold through and cook two minutes more.

  5. 5

    Spread or shape while warm, garnish with the reserved nuts, cool completely, then cut or serve as it sets.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
