Sel Roti (Rice Flour Donuts)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice Flour
• 0.75 cup Sugar

1. 1In a large bowl, combine rice flour, sugar, melted ghee (or vegetable shortening), cardamom powder, and baking soda.
2. 2Gradually add milk (or water), mixing until you form a smooth batter that is neither too thick nor too runny. It should be of pouring consistency.
3. 3Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat.
4. 4Using your hand or a ladle, pour the batter into the hot oil in a circular motion, forming a ring. You can make several at a time, depending on the size of your pan.

6. 6Remove the sel roti from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
