Title: Savory Donuts
Categories: Indian, Pastries
Yield: 4 Servings

1 c Split black gram;
- preferrably with skin
1/2 c Carrot; grated
3 tb Coconut; freshly grated
5 c Yogurt
1 bn Cilantro; chopped
Salt & pepper; to taste
2 c Oil
Red chili powder; to taste

Soak black gram overnight. In the morning, wash well and remove loose
skins. Drain water and grind gram fairly coarsely in an electric
grinder. Do not add water while grinding. Add grated carrot, coconut,
and cilantro to the batter, which should be quite thick. Beat yogurt
until smooth; add salt, a little pepper, and cilantro leaves. Mix
well and set aside.

Heat oil in a frying pan. Lightly oil the palm of your hand. Pour 1 tb
batter into your palm, flatten slightly, and slide it carefully into
the boiling oil.

Two or 3 doughnuts can be put into the oil at the same time. Turn each
doughnut over when it becomes golden brown.

As the doughnuts are taken out of the oil, drain well and drop them
into the yogurt mixture. Repeat process until no batter remains.
Allow to set for a few hours, until the doughnuts soak up the yogurt.
Sprinkly freshly cut cilantro and red chili powder on top.
