Sel Roti (Rice Flour Bread)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice flour
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 1/2 tsp Cardamom powder
• 1/4 tsp Baking soda
• 3 cups Vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of rice flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 tsp of cardamom powder, and 1/4 tsp of baking soda. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
2. 2Gradually add the 1 cup of water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously with a whisk or spoon. Continue mixing until you have a smooth, lump-free batter that is thick enough to hold a shape but still pourable.
3. 3Pour the 3 cups of vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pan or wok. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a tiny amount of batter into it; it should sizzle immediately and float to the surface.
4. 4Carefully pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the hot oil in a continuous circular motion to form a ring shape, approximately 4-5 inches (10-12 cm) in diameter. Fry each sel roti for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and puffed up.
5. 5Using a slotted spoon or tongs, carefully remove the fried sel roti from the hot oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
6. 6Serve the sel roti warm or at room temperature.
