White Fresh Sugar Batasha

What is Batasha?

Batasha is a sugar candy made by boiling sugar syrup to a high temperature and then whipping or aerating it to create a foamy texture, which is then dropped in small rounds to dry. When it hardens, it becomes crisp and white.

🧂 Ingredients

• Sugar – 1 cup
• Water – ½ cup
• A few drops of lemon juice (to prevent crystallization)
• (Optional) Cardamom powder or rose water for flavor

👩‍🍳 How to Make White Sugar Batasha

1. Make sugar syrup:
   Combine sugar and water in a pan. Heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
2. Boil to the right consistency:
   Keep boiling until the syrup reaches the hard ball stage (~120–125°C / 248–257°F). You can test by dropping a little syrup in cold water — it should form a hard ball.
3. Whip or aerate:
   Remove from heat and stir continuously with a spoon or whisk to incorporate air. The syrup will start turning opaque white as it thickens.
4. Shape the batasha:
   Quickly drop spoonfuls onto a greased tray or marble surface before it hardens completely. Work fast — once it cools, it sets.
5. Cool and store:
   Let the batashas cool completely, then store in an airtight container.
