  2. Then add maida and curd and mix well as shown.
  3. Leave it for 20 minutes minimum covered.
  4. Then begin to knead for 2 minutes not too much.

  7. Boil and filter the sediments and again bring to boil.
  8. When sugar reaches 1 string consistency switch off the stove.
  9. Add rose essence ,cardamom powder and saffron.
  10. Simultaneously heat the kadai with oil and fry the badusha's in medium heat.
  11. Fry till golden brown and drain it for a minute in tissues.
  12. Add the badusha's in batches.(Should leave in the syrup for 2 minutes and take away)
  13. Finally add all the fried badusha's to the remaining syrup for the final coating before it crystallizes.
  14. This final coating gives badusha's light sugar covering.

Notes

I have not added lemon juice to prevent crystallization because I want the sugar to coat the badhusha.
I have made mini badhusha's but you can make it bigger.
The badhusha's should be quickly mixed otherwise it crystallizes soon.
Plan accordingly and make it on time to never miss a step
