Instructions

Prepare The Compote Or Jam Using Fresh Mangoes

In a pan on medium heat, add mango chunks, sugar depending on the sweetness of mangoes, and any flavoring if desired. I added 3 crushed seeds of cardamom or half cardamom pod.
2 cups Mango, 3 tablespoon Sugar, a pinch or teaspoon flavoring of your choice, optional (crushed cardamom seeds, cinnamon powder, vanilla extract)
Mangoes will soften and release a lot of juice while cooking. This may take around 5 minutes. Then bring it to a boil and cook stirring often till mangoes become mushy and the mixture looks thickened. During this process taste and adjust the sweetness depending on the sweetness of mangoes.
Turn off the heat and let it cool completely.
Add this to a blender and blend it into a smooth puree. This yields around ¾ cup. I have used ½ cup of this compote for dough and ¼ cup for glaze or frosting.

Prepare The Donut Or Doughnut Dough

In a bowl, add warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast. Cover and leave it undisturbed for 5 minutes. Let the yeast activate.
½ cup Milk, 2 tablespoon Sugar, 2 teaspoon Active dry yeast
Add salt, melted butter, mango compote, and mix until combined using a wooden spoon or spatula.
½ teaspoon Salt, ¼ cup Butter, ½ cup Mango compote or jam
Now add flour in parts and mix until a smooth dough is formed. Increase flour in 1 tablespoon increments after 2 cups and 2 tbsp. The dough may be tacky, but that’s still ok. Don’t get tempted and add too much flour at once. If you are using a kitchen aid or mixer, use a dough attachment and mix till the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
2 ¼ cups + 2 tablespoon All-purpose flour
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl. Let it sit for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and using a rolling pin roll it into a ½ inch thick rectangle.
Shape the doughnuts: Using a cookie cutter, or a donut cutter, or drinking glass and bottle cap cut them into donut-like shapes. Keep the donut holes aside. Combine the leftover scraps, knead and roll them again to form donuts.
Transfer this to parchment paper, placing the donuts at least an inch apart. Or make around 12, 4-inch square parchment pieces and transfer each cut doughnut into these squares. This will make it easier to handle while frying. Cover and let them rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Frying The Doughnuts Or Donut

Heat oil on medium flame in a heavy-bottomed pan for frying.
Oil
Once the oil is hot (drop a small piece of dough, check if it sizzles and comes up immediately, which means oil is ready for frying), add doughnuts a few at a time, depending on the size of your pan.
Cook them on medium flame in batches. Do not over crowd the pan. Once the bottom turns golden brown, flip and cook on the other side. Approximately two to 3 minutes on each side.
Transfer these doughnuts to cooling racks or paper towels.

Prepare Mango Glaze Or Icing Or Frosting

In a bowl, add mango compote, confectioners sugar, and whisk. You may add more or less confectioner’s sugar depending on the desired thickness of the glaze. Also, add a pinch of flavoring if desired.
¼ cup Mango compote or Jam prepare above, 1 cup Confectioners sugar, a pinch or teaspoon flavoring of your choice, optional (crushed cardamom seeds, cinnamon powder, vanilla extract)
If it becomes too thick, you can add 1 tablespoon of milk to thin down.
1 or 2 tablespoon Milk
Dip fried doughnuts in the glaze while still warm and enjoy.
