About Badhusha

Badhusha is my all-time favorite, right from my childhood, also have heard that making of badusha is little tough when it comes to the consistency of the batter. But lucky I have found a better recipe, through my bestie Chitra Sendhil. The sweet came out very well, tired out with small quantity and it was over in minutes. My kids loved it a lot. Let us move on to the recipeâ€¦
