Sounds interesting right? Creating Indian fusion desserts is my new addiction. I would like to pass on that addiction to you as well. Ready for it?
Glazed Rabdi Donut
The history of Donut dates back to the 19th century when an England woman named Elizabeth Gregory wanted to prepare something for her son for his voyage at sea. She fried the dough which had a lot of nuts and made a hole in the center and named it ‘Donut’. How interesting? I always love to know the history of desserts that I love. I think all the bakers do.
It didn’t take a lot of time for me to like Donuts. In fact, it was love at first bite. There are hundreds of flavors of donuts to satiate our cravings but trust me this Glazed Rabdi Donut tastes out of the world. I would suggest you take a look at the picture once. Isn’t it drool-worthy? Rabdi by itself is a heavenly dessert and when it is combined with donuts, you can imagine the delectable taste that it gives.
If you want to treat your guests with something Desi yet continental, this Glazed Rabdi Donut is a perfect go-to choice. The entire recipe is here. I have shared three different recipes to make glaze, to make filling and to make the dough. The process might look tedious but it is all going to be worth it with the final outcome and the divine taste. Bake it, have it and share it. I am sure you are going to love it as much as I did.
