Crispy Indian Doughnuts

I usually don't prepare much desserts or sweets except for the occasional kesari and I just wanted to try my hand at making some sweets. So here is my first recipe in the dessert and sweet section. Hopefully more would follow.

Ingredients:

• Rice flour - 200 gms
• Cornmeal - 200 gms
• Dried yeast - 1 tbsp
• Salt - a pinch
• Yogurt - 5 tbsp
• Brown sugar - 200 gms
• Rose water - 1 tsp (optional)
• Oil (for deep frying)
• Lukewarm water - 100 ml

Method:

• Mix the rice flour, cornmeal, yeast -taking care to activate the yeast as per direction given (usually with warm water and a pinch of sugar) before adding, salt and lukewarm water to form a firm dough. Take care while adding water so that it doesnt become too watery or too tight a dough. The dough should be nice and pliable.
• Leave for about two hours to rise.
• Boil about 300 ml of water with the sugar and form a thick syrup. Stir in rosewater. Remove from heat when single thread consistency is formed.
• Heat oil in a deep fryer. Knead the dough and transfer it to a piping bag and squeeze circular rings of dough into oil. I used a large star attachment that comes with a muruku maker. Deep fry until golden brown and dip immediately in the syrup.
• Arrange on a plate and serve.... yummy.
