To prepare the Maida dough, first we need to activate the Dry Yeast. Take Luke Warm Milk or Water in a cup. Water should be warm and not hot or else the Yeast might not get activated.

To it add a teaspoon of Sugar and dissolve it by stirring with the help of spoon. Sugar acts as a catalyst so it is added to water to activate the yeast.

Next add Dry Yeast to the water/milk and stir it to dissolve. Cover the cup and allow it to rest for about 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes you will see that froth bubbles are formed. Formation of froths indicates that the yeast has been activated. If froths are not formed, it means that the yeast has not been activated. Do not use it and try with another batch of yeast. Keep the activated Yeast aside.

Now take All Purpose Flour (Maida) in a large bowl. To it add Sugar, Vanilla Essence, Baking Powder, Salt and Butter. Mix all the ingredients uniformly.

Next add Milk and Activated Yeast to the mixture and knead the flour to prepare soft dough. Add Milk to the flour as required.

The dough should be soft after kneading. Softer dough will help in preparing soft texture doughnuts.

If in any case the dough is hard, add more milk and knead it again. When you add more milk to the dough, it will initially become sticky but keep kneading it so that after sometime the dough will absorb all the milk.

Once the dough is prepared, apply some butter all over the dough. Cover it with lid and allow it to rest for about 1 hour by keeping it aside in a warm place.

During this time, the dough will double in its size. Keeping the dough in warm place will help in proper leavening and fermentation of the dough.

Take a tray and place parchment paper or butter paper over it. If you do not have parchment paper or butter paper, you can simply grease the tray with Oil or Butter and sprinkle some flour over it.

After an hour, remove the lid from the dough. You will see that the dough has doubled in its size. Take the dough and gently knead it again for few minutes.

Now sprinkle some flour on the kitchen shelf surface. Place the dough over it and roll the entire dough into a circle of thickness of approx. 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch.

Take Doughnut Cutter and press it over the rolled dough to cut it into a doughnut shape. Do it for entire rolled dough.

Once the entire rolled dough is cut with the doughnut cutter, first remove all the small circle from the centre of the doughnut. You can keep the small circle to prepare small doughnut for your kids.

Next remove all the main doughnut from the rolled dough one by one and place them in the greased tray or over butter paper. Apply some Oil or Butter over the Doughnut surface with the help of a brush.

If you do not have doughnut cutter, you can use small and big lid of a bottle and jar to cut the rolled dough. First cut the rolled dough with big lid. Then place small lid at the centre of the cut dough. Press and cut it. Follow the same process for entire rolled dough. Now remove the small circle to get the doughnut shape. Pick and place all the Doughnut in the greased tray. Apply Butter over the Doughnut surface with a brush.

After shaping the doughnut, you will be left with some dough. Roll it again to shape more doughnuts. Repeat this process till all the dough gets over.

Once the Doughnut is shaped, cover it with kitchen towel for about 15 minutes. The doughnut will again become double in its size.

You can vary the resting time depending upon the time it takes to become almost double its size. If it does not double its size in 15 minutes, you can allow it to rest for about 30 minutes.

Till the time the dough is resting, let’s prepare the Chocolate and Milk glaze. Take the Brown Chocolates and White Chocolates in separate bowls.

Break the chocolates in both the bowls into small pieces. This will make the task of melting the chocolates easier.

Heat Water in a large container or kadai or pan. When hot, place the Brown Chocolate Bowl over the water by holding the bowl using a tong.

Add small amount of Milk into the bowl and stir the chocolate continuously with the help of spoon.

Stir the chocolate continuously till it completely melts to form smooth slurry. Remove the bowl and keep it aside. Chocolate glaze is ready.

Follow the same process for preparing the Milk Chocolate glaze. Keep both the glaze aside and let’s start frying the doughnuts.

Heat Oil in a heavy base kadai over medium flame.

Once hot, add the prepared Doughnut into the oil one by one carefully.

Fry the Doughnut under low to medium heat till it changes its colour to light golden brown. Keep stirring the doughnut so that it is cooked evenly from all sides.

When the doughnut becomes light golden brown, take them out from the oil with the help of strainer and place them over tissue paper or kitchen towel to absorb excess oil. Allow them to cool down.

If you want to bake the doughnuts, preheat the microwave oven at 180 degree celsius for about 15-20 minutes. Place the doughnuts in the baking tray and then put the tray inside the oven. Bake the doughnuts till the upper layer is slightly golden brown in colour. Remove the baked doughnuts and allow it to cool down. Do not over bake or else the upper layer will become dry and hard.

Follow the same process to fry or bake the remaining shaped doughnut. Now we will glaze the fried/baked doughnuts with Brown Chocolate, Milk Chocolate and Powdered Sugar.

Take a doughnut and dip it upside down into the bowl containing the melted chocolate. Dip it partially and coat the upper layer of the doughnut properly.

After coating the doughnut properly, keep it in a separate plate with the coated side facing upwards. Follow the same procedure for other doughnuts. Use both the melted chocolates, dark chocolate and milk chocolate to coat the doughnuts.

You can also glaze the doughnut with powdered sugar. First apply some melted butter over the upper surface of the doughnut. Next place the upper face of the doughnut over the Powdered Sugar and coat it properly with it. Sugar glazing is complete. Keep it in a separate plate.

At last, top the Doughnut with different colourful sprinkles. You can also use Finely Grated Coconut as a topping over the Doughnuts.

Tasty, Delicious and Mouthwatering Doughnut are ready to serve. Serve it warm or at room temperature. You can also refrigerate it to serve it later on but remember to warm the doughnuts before serving, since on refrigerating it may become dense.
