I want to begin the post by congratulating myself as it is my 100th recipe on the blog!! 

Wow!!! From cooking at home for years, feeding family and friends, numerous potlucks and parties this has been quite a journey for me. I had to make something sweet to celebrate the occasion, right? So I made some donuts. 

Who doesn’t love donuts? We all fancy to have this dessert once in a while for breakfast, while vacationing or just ‘cause it’s the weekend’. Bakeries and patisseries often have an array of these pillowy, sweet and decadent goodies in all shapes colors imaginable. We all have memories of eating our favorite kind chocolate glaze or sprinkle laden or even the classic plain kind. They are delicious no doubt but are sometimes deep fried and made with all purpose flour which are devoid of nutrients. 

Niki loves sugar, needless to say she loves donuts as well. I’ve had this on my list of ‘to try dishes’ for a long, long time. To make it healthy, I tried substituting almond flour which made it less guilty. The results were pretty decent. 

Donuts are akin to South Indian vadas in its shape, but entirely different in taste and the way it’s made. I read somewhere on the net if you don’t have a donut pan you can use regular muffin trays and place an aluminum foil rolled in the center and pipe the batter around it to shape like donuts.
