Receta Old Fashioned Indian Doughnut Recipe
This is the first doughnut recipe I have tried in
my life. Got this recipe from my mother in law. This was one of mummy’s
signature snack recipes during my husband’s childhood days. Unlike the soft
doughnuts we make these days, this one is hard in texture and can be stored for
several days. I always felt these doughnuts are a "cousin" of VettuCake and Diamond Cuts we make back home in Kerala. Kids will love this snack and
you can also pack it for those staying in hostels. It's also a great snack to
give away during Christmas time!
