• Now , rest the dough for 10 - 15 minutes by covering it with a dry cloth . 

Sugar syrup : 

• Heat 1/2 cup of water and dissolve 1 cup of sugar in it . 

• Let the water to boil and sugar to dissolve completely .

• The consistency should be thin as like thread .

• Once you got the consistency , add 2 cardamom , 10 saffron strands . 

Tip : saffron starnds is optional . This is for only color .

Dough preparation - part 2 :

• Divide the dough as 10 equal parts and make a round shape using your palms gently . 
• Now , make a small pit in each round shape balls using your index finger . 

Tip : It's not a hole , it's a pit . 

Frying : 

• In a frying pan , add oil and start to heat it in a medium flame to fry all those dough balls . 

Tip : Have a flame in medium or else badushas turn black outside and 

Doesn't cook properly inside .
