Balushahi is also known as Badusha.in North India it is known as Balushahi and the same is known as Badusha in South India.
It is easily available all over India.But currently we’re outside India and my elder son Aaryash has a sweet tooth.I really make a lot of sweet for him at home.Not only I like making it for him and my family, bonus is they are healthy too,as they are homemade.
These are crispy from outside and light,succulent from inside.
To me personally its my “GUILTY PLEASURE” ssshhhh…!!! 🤫
