Sandhya, yes there are made with butter, so maybe that’s why they are called butter.

The content of butter makes them a good anti-constipating food! Batasa very popular in Mumbai, Surat.

The bakeries bake them by the millions and they are a MUST for breakfast in the morning for some people.

Hi Zaraius, This recipe makes approx 2 dozen batasas. 24 to 29 Depending on the size of the balls you make. The cook gets to taste some, after the 2 dozen are made. 🙂

Have a good time making Batasas and do send a picture to us at webmaster@Parsicuisine.com

Rita, if I don’t have double acting baking powder, can I replace plain flour/1tsp double acting baking powder with self raising flour/1 tsp normal baking powder? Thanks

Meher, sure do replace plain flour/1tsp double acting baking powder with self raising flour/ 3/4 tsp normal baking powder. Self raising flour has some baking power so use 3/4 tsp double acting baking powder.

Let me know how they turn out.
