Chocolate Doughnuts

The first shower of the season had me splashing away like a kid. After months of heat and humidity, the cool water refreshed everything around. Of course, all that rain dance had me craving for some strong coffee and hot chocolate doughnuts. This recipe belongs to my dear friend Sonal, and every bite reminds me of the icy Himalayan rains, made warmer by her love <3


So while i demolish yet another batch, you can roll out your own deep fried indulgence :-)
Ingredients for CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUTS:
Eggs - 2
Caster Sugar - 1/2 cup
Butter / Oil - 4 tbsp
Refined Flour - 2 1/4  cups
Cocoa powder - 1/4 cup
Baking powder - 2 tsp
salt - a pinch
Milk - as required
Icing Sugar - as required.

Method: Mix all the dry ingredients together, and slowly add the eggs and oil to form a soft dough. If the dough feels a little tight, incorporate a little milk. Do not knead the dough. Keep aside for for 45 minutes. Now place the rested dough between two layers of cling film and roll out with the help of a rolling pin. Do not roll too thin or thick. With the help of a biscuit cutter or a sturdy cap, cut out rounds and poke a hole in the middle with your finger. Deep fry in hot oil till puffed, golden and crisp. Generously dust with icing sugar and serve up with some hot coffee!
