Ingredients You’ll Need
(Full measurements in the recipe card below)
Dough
- • 1 cup warm water — activates yeast
- • 2 tbsp granulated sugar — feeds yeast
- • 1.5 tsp instant yeast — leavening agent
- • 2 cups whole wheat flour — base of dough
- • 0.25 tsp salt — balances flavor
- • 2 tbsp melted butter — adds richness
- • 2 tbsp oil — keeps dough soft
Finishing
- • Oil for frying — deep fry medium heat
- • 1 cup castor sugar — coating after frying
Substitutions

| castor sugar | powdered jaggery or cinnamon sugar |
How to Make It — Step by Step
Activate Yeast
Mix warm water, sugar and yeast. Rest 10 minutes until frothy.
Make Dough
Add flour, salt, butter and oil to yeast mix. Knead 8 minutes into a soft smooth dough.
First Rise
Cover dough and rest in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Shape and Rest
Punch down, roll to 1 cm thickness, cut rounds, rest 20 minutes on a floured surface.
Fry and Coat
Fry in medium hot oil 2 minutes per side until golden, then roll immediately in castor sugar.
Tips for the Best Result
Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it turns frothy. If it does not foam, your yeast is inactive and the doughnuts will not rise properly.
Whole wheat dough is naturally stickier than all-purpose flour dough. Use only as much dusting flour as needed or the doughnuts will turn out dense and dry.
Fry at medium heat, around 170 to 180 degrees Celsius. Oil that is too hot will brown the outside while leaving the inside raw, and oil that is too cool will make the doughnuts greasy.
How to Store
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 12 to 15 minutes, though the texture will be more bread-like than a classic fried doughnut.
Yes, but activate it in the warm water and sugar mixture for 10 minutes until foamy before adding the flour.
The yeast may be expired or the water was too hot, which kills the yeast. Make sure water is warm, not boiling, around 40 degrees Celsius.
Yes, powdered jaggery or coconut sugar works well as a refined sugar free alternative to castor sugar.
