Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.
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.
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.
Add cardamom powder and lemon juice to the syrup, mix well, and set it aside to cool.
Shape the dough into small, flat round discs approximately 2 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick.
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.
Remove the fried badushas from the ghee and dip them immediately in the sugar-free syrup, ensuring they are well-coated.
Place the badushas on a wire rack to drain excess syrup.
Garnish each piece with chopped pistachios and allow them to cool completely before serving.
