Perfect for those looking to enjoy cultural favorites while staying committed to a low-carb lifestyle!
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, erythritol, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the water, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth, thick batter.
Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to allow the flours to absorb the liquid and thicken slightly.
Heat ghee or coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying but not smoking.
Using a ladle or a piping bag with a medium-sized nozzle, carefully pour the batter in a circular motion into the hot oil to form rings.
Fry each Sel Roti for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crisp.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the Sel Roti from the oil, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Keto Sel Roti warm and enjoy as a crispy snack or pair with keto-friendly dips or curries.
