Roll the dough giving it a round shape. Spread some dry flour on the board and place dough on it. With help of rolling pin make a round circle with ½- ¾ cm thickness and cut round doughnuts with help of a glass. Take a small cap of bottle and make holes in the doughnuts. Place doughnuts on a try. Make doughnuts from rest of the dough again in similar manner. Brush all prepared doughnuts with oil so that they don’t get dried.
Cover the doughnuts and keep then aside for 2 hours so that they be come puffy.
After 2 hours take oil in a pan and place it on flame for heating. Gently place 2-3 or as many doughnuts as possible in medium hot oil. Fry on low flame until they turn golden brown in color. Take out fried doughnuts in a plate with absorbent paper. Fry all doughnuts like wise. Dust piping hot doughnuts with powdered sugar.
How to glaze the doughnuts:

Everyone enjoy pizza. Pizza has become a universal food enjoyed by all. Pizza paratha is perfect for the times when you want to enjoy homemade pizza. This is also quick and easy recipe. Personalize your pizza with your favourite toppings. You can serve this for lunch, snack, or especially good for kids lunch box. This is also my grandkids favourite.
This recipe will serve 2.
Preparation Time: 10 mins
Resting Time: one hour
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
For Paratha Dough
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida or plain flour)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon yeast
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1/3 cup lukewarm water use as needed
For Filling
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes, adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper finely chopped, adjust to taste
  • 1-1/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Also need
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (maida or plain flour) for rolling the paratha
  • 2 tablespoons of oil to cook parathas
Method
  1. In a bowl mix the flour, salt, yeast, and oil, add the water as needed to make soft and pliable dough. Cover the dough and set aside for about one hour.
  2. Squeeze the chopped bell peppers to remove the extra water.
  3. In a bowl mix all the ingredients for filling, bell pepper, mushrooms tomato paste, salt, chili flakes, basil, oregano, jalapeno, and cheese, mix it well.
  4. Knead the dough and divide in two equal parts. Roll each part of the dough in smooth ball.
  5. Roll one part of the dough into about six-inch diameter, use dry flour as needed to roll.
  6. Place half a cup of filling in the center. Pull the edges of the dough to wrap it around the filling, making sure it is covered from all around.
  7. Meanwhile heat the skillet on medium low heat, skillet should not be very hot, otherwise paratha will not cook through. Heavy skillet works best.
  8. Lightly sprinkle the dry flour on the surface you will roll the paratha. Press the filled patty lightly from both sides, with your fingers. Now using a rolling pin, roll the paratha about eight-inch in diameter. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin or rolling surface, lightly dust the parathas with dry flour.
  9. Oil the skillet generously, and place the paratha on the skillet. Cook the paratha for 2-3 minutes and flip the paratha. Paratha should be golden brown. It is important to cook paratha on low heat.
  10. Again brush the paratha with oil all around and flip it again in about 2 minutes. Paratha should be golden brown both sides for crispness. Paratha should take about five minutes to cook nicely.
  11. Take out the pizza paratha over wire rack to keep them from getting soggy.
  12. You can make these pizza parathas in any combinations of filling. When I make for my grand kids I don’t add any peppers.


Enjoy!
