Put ghee to heat in a wok. Check if ghee is sufficiently hot, You need less hot oil like to fry the Balushahi. Put the Balushahi to fry. Fry on low flame, when they float over the ghee, when golden brown from below, flip them. Slightly increase flame and fry well until golden brown from all sides. When fried and ready, take it out. Hold the Balushahi over the ladle ,so that the extra ghee drains back to the wok. Keep it in a plate.

Take out the Balushahi and drop it in sugar syrup. Dip it. If the ghee seems too hot then then turn off the flame for 2 to 3 minutes and let it cool. Turn on flame, put the Balushahi to fry. Meanwhile Take out the balushahi dipped in sugar syrup.Keep it in a separate plate. All the balushahi are fried and ready. It takes 20 to 21 minutes to fry balushahi at once. 21 Balushahi are ready with this quantity of dough.To garnish place Balushahi in a plate. Garnish with pistachio shavings.

Suggestions: 

  • Do not knead the refined flour dough too much, just bind it.
  • Fry the balushahi in less hot oil, If it is too hot, they won't puff up. 
  • If the sugar is unclear then the sugar syrup becomes unclear too. Add 1 tbsp of milk to it. As the sugar syrup boils, the impurities will flaot over the syrup. Take it out with a spoon, the syrup will come out clean.
  • You can make Balushahi, even without saffron strands. 
  • You can fry the balushahi in oil instead of ghee if desired.
