So here's another attempt to make yummy spongy doughnuts....try it and let me know :)

For Chocolate glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 4 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Method:

•  In a bowl mix yeast, water and 2tbsp sugar and leave it for some time till nice and frothy.
•  Sieve together flour,baking soda,salt,remaining sugar for min 3 times.
•  Mix together all dry ingredients with egg and knead it a bit. Here the mixture will be like corn flakes consistency.
•  Add yeast mixture and margarine and knead well. If the dough is sticky then add little more flour and knead.
•  Let it sit in a warm place for about 30 mins or till the dough rises.
•  Once its double in size then apply little oil or butter to your hands and punch the dough.
•  Make small dough balls and place on your palm and press it to make a patty.
•  Now cut in to doughnut shapes using doughnut cutter or cookie cutter.
•  Now cover this and let it sit for another 30 mins
•  Now heat oil and deep fry the doughnuts.
• Drain it on paper towel.

For Chocolate Glaze:

•  Whisk together sugar,cocoa powder,salt,milk and vanilla extract in a bowl till its fluffy.
•  Now Dip the doughnuts in the glaze and set it aside to set.
• You can decorate glaze with sprinkles or powdered cocoa powder or any other option of your choice.

Tips:

• For a healthier version you can use a doughnut pan and bake it instead. For this, to the doughnut batter initially, add 1/2 cup buttermilk or 1/2 cup whipped cream.
• I covered some doughnuts with white chocolate too.

Enjoy Eating!! :)
