Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Ghee for frying
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 cup Erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.
Step 2
Add the melted butter and Greek yogurt to the flour mixture and combine until a soft dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Step 3
While the dough rests, prepare the sugar-free syrup by heating water and erythritol in a saucepan over medium heat until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Step 4
Add cardamom powder and lemon juice to the syrup, mix well, and set it aside to cool.
Step 5
Shape the dough into small, flat round discs approximately 2 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick.
Step 6
Heat ghee in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, reduce the heat to low and carefully fry the badusha pieces until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the fried badushas from the ghee and dip them immediately in the sugar-free syrup, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 8
Place the badushas on a wire rack to drain excess syrup.
Step 9
Garnish each piece with chopped pistachios and allow them to cool completely before serving.
