Bihar Sitamarhi Runni Saidpur Famous Balushahi Recipe | Secret No-Oil Technique 🇮🇳
"Hello friends, welcome to Kitchen Expert Corner! Today we are making the pride of Mithila—Sitamarhi Runni Saidpur's famous Balushahi, completely oil-free!"
Hello friends! Welcome back to Kitchen Expert Corner.
Today, we are making a very special sweet dish that is truly the 'Aan, Baan, aur Shaan' of Mithila! Yes, I am talking about the famous Balushahi of Runni Saidpur, Sitamarhi (Bihar). This sweet is famous all across Bihar, and the craftsmen who make it are world-renowned for its incredible texture.
This sweet is super soft, juicy, and delicious! And as always, we will make it in my own simple style. Most people think Balushahi is always deep-fried, but here is the magic—authentic Runni Saidpur Balushahi isn't fried at all! It is made purely from fresh Chena and cooked thoroughly in flavored sugar syrup.

🛒 Ingredients You Need
You only need 2 main ingredients for this recipe!
For Fresh Chena:
- Milk: 1 Liter (full cream)
- Lemon: 1 whole lemon (to make fresh Chena)
For the Flavored Sugar Syrup:
- Sugar: 400 grams
- Water: 1 Liter
- Orange Extract / Flavor: ½ cup flavored water (or a few drops of orange drink mix/color)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Recipe (My Personal Method)
Step 1: Making the Fresh Chena
- Turn on the stove and boil 1 liter of milk. Squeeze 1 whole lemon into it to separate the whey and prepare fresh Chena.
- Strain the Chena completely using a cloth.
Step 2: The Kneading Technique (The Real Secret!)
- We usually hear that Maida (flour) is added to make Chena balls, but you'll be surprised to know that this authentic recipe uses little to no Maida at all!
- Press and rub the Chena with your palm continuously. Now, it's just talk when people say 'knead for 5 minutes and it's done'—no! It actually takes about 15 to 20 minutes of continuous palm-kneading to get a fine, smooth dough.
- Roll small Chena balls from the dough. Make sure there are no cracks on the balls! If you see cracks, rub them once more between your palms. (By the way, if you use this same kneading technique for Rasgullas, they will turn out super soft too!)
Step 3: Preparing Syrup & Boiling
- In a wide pot, boil 1 liter of water with 400g sugar. Mix in ½ cup of orange-flavored water or extract to give it that authentic rich aroma and color.
- Once the syrup is rapidly boiling on high flame, gently drop your smooth Chena balls into it. (My tip: Always drop Chena balls when the syrup is at a high boiling temperature!)
- Cover with a lid and let them cook. I cooked mine for about 40 to 45 minutes!
- Check around 10 minutes in—if the syrup reduces, gradually add small amounts of hot water from the top so the boiling doesn't stop. We want the Balushahi to be slightly firm and well-cooked.
