Ingredients

To make approximately 12 donuts, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1½ cups (200g) all-purpose flour (maida)
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips (optional for a chocolatey twist)
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons milk
  • ⅓ cup curd (plain yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons oil (plus more for frying)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and powdered sugar. Whisk them together until well blended.
  2. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the curd and milk. Mix until it forms a rough dough.
  3. Add the oil to the mixture and knead gently for about 2 minutes until the dough is smooth. If you have time, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes; this helps soften the dough.

Step 2: Shape the Donuts

  1. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness.
  2. Use a round cutter to cut out donut shapes. If you don’t have a donut cutter, a large glass can work just as well! For the center hole, use a smaller cutter or even a bottle cap.
  3. Gather any excess dough, knead it slightly, and roll it out again to cut more donuts.

Step 3: Frying the Donuts

  1. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. You’ll need enough oil to submerge the donuts.
  2. Once hot, carefully drop in a few donuts at a time. Fry until they turn golden brown on both sides—about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Remove them using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 4: Finishing Touches

Once your donuts are cool enough to handle, you can dust them with powdered sugar or dip them in chocolate glaze if desired.

Pro Tips for Perfect Donuts

  • Don’t Overmix: When combining your ingredients, mix just until incorporated to keep your donuts light and fluffy.
  • Oil Temperature: Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying; if it’s too cool, the donuts will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with flavors! Add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra kick.

Conclusion

These eggless donuts without yeast are perfect for satisfying cravings without complicated ingredients or processes. Whether enjoyed plain or dressed up with toppings, they are sure to become a favorite in your household. So roll up your sleeves and get ready to indulge in some homemade goodness! Enjoy every bite!
