Badusha is a very sweet recipe made during Diwali or in weddings.Though it appears a difficult task to make these sugar syrup soaked dumplings,when properly made with correct measurements becomes easy work.I was also in a dilemma,but was too tempted to try that i finally gave it a shot.I had seen my MIL making these and was not sure whether it would turn out soft and good.I also saw a few friends blogs and found a recipe which goes like this..
