About Balushai
Balushai is a popular dessert originating from Indian cuisine, often enjoyed during festivals and celebrations. Made from a dough of refined flour (maida), clarified butter (ghee), and yogurt, it takes the form of flaky, deep-fried pastries with a golden crust. These are then dipped in thick sugar syrup, creating a rich sweetness. While Balushai offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors, its nutritional profile leans toward indulgence rather than health. It is calorie-dense owing to its sugar content and frying process, and it contains high amounts of fats from the ghee. On the upside, its use of yogurt adds a slight probiotic element, though this is minimal in comparison to the dessert's overall richness. Balushai is best enjoyed as an occasional treat, in moderation, as part of a balanced diet.
