Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Gluten-free rice flour
- 2 medium Banana (ripe)
- 100 g Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 700 ml Unsweetened almond milk (or water)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 500 ml Oil for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth.
Add the gluten-free rice flour, sugar, ghee, cardamom powder, and salt to the mashed bananas. Mix well.
Gradually add unsweetened almond milk or water while continuously stirring the mixture. Combine until a smooth batter is formed. The batter should be similar to a thick pancake batter.
Stir in the baking powder, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter. Cover and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow rice flour to hydrate.
After resting, check the consistency of the batter. It should be thick but pourable. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of almond milk or water at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately and rise to the surface.
Once the oil is ready, pour the batter into a piping bag or a squeeze bottle. If neither is available, use a clean plastic bag with a small hole cut at one corner.
Carefully pipe the batter into the hot oil in a circular motion to form a ring shape, similar to a doughnut.
Fry the sel roti until golden brown on one side, then carefully flip it over to fry the other side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the sel roti using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious, gluten-free sel roti as a snack or dessert!
