Ingredients

  • 2 cup Rice Flour
  • 0.5 cup Sugar
  • 1.25 cup Water
  • 2 tbsp Ghee Substitute (Vegetable Shortening)
  • 0.5 tsp Cardamom Powder
  • 0.25 tsp Baking Soda
  • 3 cup Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, mix rice flour, sugar, ghee substitute (vegetable shortening), cardamom powder, and baking soda.
  2. 2Gradually add water while mixing continuously until a smooth, thick batter is formed. The batter should be able to coat the back of a spoon.
  3. 3Let the batter rest for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, for better fermentation.
  4. 4Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat.
  5. 5Pour the batter in a circular motion into the hot oil to form a ring shape. You can use your hand or a measuring cup to do this.
  6. 6Fry the sel roti until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping occasionally. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. 7Remove the sel roti from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. 8Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
