SERVES:Â 5-7
INGREDIENTS:
08 oz plain white flour
01 packet/6 g yeast
1/2 tsp salt
04 oz castor sugar
01 oz butter
75-120ml milk
01 large egg (beaten)
1 1/2 tablespoon raspberry/strawberry jam
grated rind of 01 lemon
oil for frying
UTENSILS:
bowl, pan for frying, spoons, cling wrap, round cutter or any round cap, big and small will do, baking sheet
METHOD:
First, sift the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir in yeast and 1/2 oz of sugar.
Then, cut butter into small pieces and rub it into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Now, beat the egg and mix it in the dough. Also, warm milk and put it in the mixture.
Now, knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
After that take a clean bowl, lightly oil it, and put the dough in it. Cover it either with a cling wrap or a wet towel and place it in a warm place for 1-2 hours until it rises or doubles in quantity.
when it has risen take the dough out and knead it on the floured surface until smooth. Now cut the dough in half. Roll it out and cut it round with whatever is available with you.
With the remaining half, roll out, make small balls and insert the jam in it and then close the balls.
Now place the doughnuts on a lightly greased baking sheet and cover them with a clean towel in a warm place until the size doubles for about 30 to 45 min.
Now, heat the oil in a deep frying pan. If you have a thermometer to check the temperature (375degree F), its good, or you can simply put a piece of bread and see if it turns brown. If it does, put a few donuts and fry for 2-3 minutes. Turn their sides with a spatula until they are golden brown.
Then take them out and put them on a sheet to cool.
mix the remaining sugar and lemon rind in a bag or in a plate and put the dried out donut in the bag for a complete toss around.
Serve the doughnut while still warm.
You can also serve them with whip cream or chocolate glaze with sprinkles.
It’s simply yummy…..

Serves: 2-4 persons (depending on appetite)
Ingredients:Â
01 packet spaghetti of your choice(Chinese noodles,macaroni elbow,twisted,etc.,)
01- 02 capsicum green
02-03 green chillies, finely chopped
01 medium-sized onion (can use green onion too)
01 -02 carrots
1/2 kg chicken
black pepper according to taste
salt according to taste
chicken stock as needed(powder form)
01 cup of water
oil as needed
Utensils:
a deep wok or pan, flat spoon for tossing, spoon for tasting, fork for tossing
Method:
Take a deep pan and put some oil in it on a low flame.
Now put your chopped onions into the wok and stir them.
when the onion starts changing its colour start adding the chopped chicken cubes along with green chillies
when the chicken starts becoming white, add the chopped vegetables in it.
Stir all for 2-3 minutes with a medium flame now.
Now is the time to add your spices(salt, pepper, stock (chicken).
Now cover the deep wok or pan with a lid for 2-3 minutes.
when 2-3 minutes have passed, put your packet of spaghetti or whatever noodles you have in the pan.
Put about 01 cups of water in the pan. Stir all the ingredients and use the spoon to taste if some spice is less.
If so add some of it. Now cover the pan and leave it until water starts boiling and your spaghetti’s start changing their colour.
Pull out one strand of spaghetti and check it with a spoon. If it breaks easily, then it is done and if not reduce the flame to a very low level and let it rest there for 10 min.
After 10 minutes check the noodles again. IÂ am sure they would have been cooked by this time.
Now is the final stage, the tossing stage.
You do not want to ruin your hard work while tossing. So the best way is to toss it with a fork or take two flat wooden spoons and mix with a gentle hand.
There you go, your delicious, juicy spaghetti is ready to serve.
You can either eat it with a tangy and sweet barbeque sauce or ketchup or as it is.
It is simply a wow experience.
Tips:
Always use extra oil to make it juicier.
for a stock, you can also use the Knorr stock available in the supermarket but then you have to use less salt while cooking or else it would become too bitter
For spaghetti always use a less amount of water as a greater volume of water may result in making a mash of the spaghetti.
you can also use vegetables of your choice and availability.
Happy Eating!
