Prepare the dough by combining the chopped potato, ground ginger, ground cardamom, cinnamon, mixed spice, baking powder, salt, butter, eggs, cooking oil, milk, yeast, sugar, lukewarm water, and plain flour in a mixing bowl.

Knead the dough until smooth and let it rise until doubled in size.

Once risen, shape the dough into small balls or desired shapes.

Fry the dough in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through.

Prepare the syrup by boiling sugar and water together with cinnamon sticks and cardamom seeds until it thickens slightly.

Once the doughnuts are fried, immediately coat them in the syrup and then roll them in coconut shavings.
