Balushahi
Balushahi is North Indian delicacy and is deep fried in Desi Ghee. It is quite popular in all the North-Indian celebrations. Balushahi is much like "Fried Baati". It is different in texture, and ingredients than Baati. Its flaky and crunchy outside and soft inside.It is fried on slow heat so that the balls can be cooked inside-out properly and should be flaky and crumbly when you eat them.Later on Balushahi is dipped in Sugar syrup whereas Baati is dipped in Desi Ghee. Bati is savory whereas Balushahi is sweet. Lot of dissimilarity at the same time few similarity.
