Direction to prepare donuts:

• Take a luke warm cup and add into a bowl. Add yeast, salt, sugar, and oil. Mix well with spoon or beater. Then place for 5 minutes to rise.
• Now sieve the all-purpose flour and add into bowl. Mix gradually and add some more milk or water while mixing. Knead with hands around 5 minutes so that it become proper dough. Grease the sides of bowl. Cover the bowl with lid and set aside on normal temperature for an hour. This time gap will help to rise the dough.
• Now check the dough is risen enough. Press the dough to take out the air. Sprinkle dry flour on flour surface. Make round shape of dough. Now place it on flour and roll softly the dough like a flat bread. Roll the dough around half inch thin.
• Now take donut cutter and cut with it. If you don’t have donut cutter you may use any steel glass which has thin corner which will cut perfectly. To cut inner side you may use smaller lid of any bottle. Now rest it to rise again and cover with neat cloth piece. Now prepare icing.
• Take a pan for deep frying. Add enough oil to fry. Heat it on medium to high temperature.
• Now raw donuts are soft enough. So shift them carefully into frying oil. Fry on medium heat. Change the side carefully. When it turn into light brown color. Take out with spatula. Repeat the process for remaining donuts. You can fry 3 to 4 donuts at one time.
• Icing

You can prepare icing when you rest the raw donuts to rise again.  So take a pan. Add butter to melt. Add sugar, vanilla and 1 to two tablespoon of water. Mix well and switch off the heat. 

Final Garnishing:

If you like choice one to sprinkle only sugar then after taking out from frying pan dip in sugar and set aside in a dish.

If you like choice 2 then take out donuts  from frying pan dip one side in to icing and set in serving dish.  You can sprinkle some coconut powder on it. 

You can make chocolate syrup and can dip the cooked donuts’ top side into it and chocolate donuts are ready.

Tip For little kids:

I have little kids. If they take garnished donuts their hands and face become pulloted so I added 4 tablespoons of sugar while mixing. Now they can eat sweet donuts while being neat.😂

Normal temperature means:

when temperature is in normal conditions like not too much heat nor too cold. In summer, dough rises very soon. So 30 minutes are enough to rise dough. But in winter, it takes more time like more than an hour to rise. I placed the bowl of dough to rise in oven which was switched off. It helped I. Winter to rise .
