Ingredients

  • 2 cups Rice Flour
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Clove Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1/4 cup Dairy-Free Milk (Coconut or Almond)
  • For frying Ghee Substitute (Coconut Oil)

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, sugar, cardamom powder, clove powder, turmeric powder, and dairy-free milk.
  2. 2Gradually add water, mixing until you get a smooth, thick batter. The batter should be able to coat the back of a spoon.
  3. 3Heat dairy-free ghee substitute (such as coconut oil) in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
  4. 4To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil. It should sizzle and float to the top.
  5. 5Using your fingers or a small ladle, carefully drop a circular amount of batter into the hot oil.
  6. 6Fry the sel roti until golden brown on both sides, flipping as needed.
  7. 7Remove the sel roti from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. 8Serve warm and enjoy!
