These doughnuts are soft like a pillow on the inside and crisp on the outside. Go easy with the rose water. It can be a little overbearing if you add too much. You need enough oil to fill a medium-sized saucepan to about 7cm up the side.

This flavoursome dish is loaded with lycopene, a phytochemical that gives tomatoes their bright red colour and many important health benefits.

Tomatoes are also rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids that help protect the eyes from blue light from computers, phones and TVs, and can lower the risk of age- related eye conditions such as macular degeneration and cataracts.
