Balushahi

Balushahi is a traditional dessert in northern Indian Cuisine, Pakistani Cuisine, Nepali cuisine and Bangladeshi cuisine. It is similar to a glazed doughnut in terms of ingredients, but differs in texture and taste. In South India, a similar pastry is known as Badushah. Balushahis are made of maida flour, and are deepfried in clarified butter and then dipped in sugar syrup.
