Ingredients
- 150 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 100 grams Low-fat yogurt
- 50 milliliters Olive oil
- 30 milliliters Water
- 75 grams Raw cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 10 grams Pistachios, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour and baking powder. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Add low-fat yogurt and olive oil to the flour mixture. Mix thoroughly until it forms a soft, non-sticky dough. Use a little water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 3
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, prepare the sugar syrup. In a small pan, add raw cane sugar and water. Heat on medium flame until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 5
Add cardamom powder and lemon juice to the sugar syrup. Boil for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Step 6
After the dough has rested, divide it into 10 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and flatten it slightly, pressing your thumb slightly in the center.
Step 7
Preheat an air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the flattened dough balls in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space in between.
Step 8
Air fry the badushas at 180°C for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown and cooked well.
Step 9
Remove the badushas from the air fryer and immediately immerse them in the warm sugar syrup. Allow them to soak for 2 minutes on each side.
Step 10
Garnish the badushas with chopped pistachios on top before serving.
Step 11
Enjoy your heart-healthy badusha warm or at room temperature as a delightful treat.
