Diwali is round the clock, and these homemade Balushahi is already set for delivery.
It is a delicious treat, often enjoyed during special occasions and festivals. It's made from a mixture of all-purpose flour, ghee (clarified butter), and a touch of baking soda. The dough is shaped into small discs and deep-fried until they become golden brown and crispy on the outside, yet soft and slightly flaky on the inside. After frying, they are left to cool. What sets Balushahi apart is its sweet glaze. After cooling, these pastries are dipped into a sugary syrup, which can be flavored with cardamom or saffron to enhance the taste and aroma. This syrup gives Balushahi a sweet and shiny finish, making it even more delightful. Finally, they're garnished with pistachios and nuts. People love Balushahi for its melt-in-the-mouth texture, perfect sweetness, and overall satisfaction.

Champaran mutton also known as Ahuna meat A recipe from Bettiah (Bihar), a city and administrative headquarters of the west Champaran district close to the Indo-Nepal border.
Among mutton lovers, 'Champaran Meat' has gained widespread recognition. It's a must-try delicacy. It is typically cooked in earthen pots or matka in the dum style. The mutton is put inside the matka, which is then covered from the top and sealed with wheat dough to prevent the steam from escaping. The steam inside makes the meat robust and decadent! The dish's rustic appeal stems from the bold use of onions and an array of spices including ginger, garlic, clove, cinnamon, bay leaves, garam masala and bulb garlic is used in addition to the other ingredients for the magnificent flavor.
I used BHANSA MEAT MASALA for more genuine flavors.
No water is added as the water from mutton and the steam generated inside help the meat cook on its own. The aroma is irresistible. This delicious mutton curry goes well with plain steam rice or any Indian flatbread.
