These pastries are popular all over South Asia, and are most similar to a glazed cake donut. Balushahi are made of maida flour, a wheat flour used for baked goods that originates in India. The maida flour makes them a little bit heavier than the typical North American donut. Balushahi are fried in ghee, a type of clarified butter, then dipped in sugar syrup and garnish with a topping like crushed pistachios or coconut flakes.
