Ingredients

For the Dough:
- 2 tbsp Instant Yeast
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 1 Egg (or 1/4 cup fresh curd for vegetarian option)
- 4 tbsp Oil or Butter (oil recommended for softness)
- 1/2 tbsp Salt
- 2 cups Whole Wheat Atta
- 1.25 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Warm Water (adjust based on flour)
For Coating or Glaze:
- Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
  - 1 cup Sugar
  - 1 tbsp Cinnamon Powder
  - Pinch of Salt
- Colorful Glaze:
  - 3/4 cup Icing Sugar
  - 1-1.5 tbsp Milk
  - Food Color of your choice
  - 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)

Prepare the Dough:
- Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a bowl, beat together whole wheat flour, sugar, egg (or curd), oil/butter, and salt.
- Add all-purpose flour gradually, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough starts pulling away from the bowl's sides.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place until the dough doubles in size (about 2 hours).
Shape the Donuts:
- Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Use a large round cutter (or glass) to cut circles and a smaller cutter (or nozzle back) for the holes.
- Cover and let the donuts rise until puffy (about 1-2 hours).
Fry the Donuts:
- Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a deep vessel.
- Fry 1-2 donuts at a time, cooking until light brown on one side, then flipping to cook the other side.
- Transfer to a cooling rack to drain.
Coat or Glaze:
- Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Mix sugar, cinnamon powder, and salt. Dip hot donuts into the mix to coat evenly.
- Colorful Glaze: Mix icing sugar, milk, food color, and vanilla extract. Dip the donuts into the glaze for a colorful finish.
Serve warm for the best taste.
