    Indian sweet doughnuts

    Serves: Makes 12
    Cooking Time: 40 mins

    Ingredients

    • SYRUP

    • 1,125kg white sugar
    • 1L (4 cups) water
    • 8 green cardamom pods
    • 8 cloves
    • 2 star anise
    • 15ml (1 tbsp) rose water

    • DOUGHNUTS

    • 450g dried milk powder
    • 150g cake flour
    • 2,5ml (½ tsp) bicarbonate of soda
    • 180ml (¾ cup) fresh whipping cream
    • 125ml (½ cup) grapeseed oil, to fry
    • desiccated coconut, to coat

    Instructions

    1

    For the syrup, mix together all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil, while stirring, until you obtain a thick syrupy liquid, 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

    2

    For the doughnuts, combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the cream and mix together with a spoon or by hand until it becomes a thick dough.

    3

    Preheat the oil in a deep-fryer to 180°C. Alternatively you can use a thick-based, deep saucepan. Scoop out small quantities of the batter, and deep-fry in the oil until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Drain on paper towel.

    4

    Pour the syrup over the doughnuts and roll in the coconut to coat. Serve the remaining syrup as a side.
