Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice
- 1 medium Banana
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup Fat-free Yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold running water, then soak it in enough water to cover for at least 5 to 6 hours or overnight if possible. Drain the rice well.
Peel the banana and place it in a blender. Add the soaked rice, sugar, fat-free yogurt, baking soda, cardamom powder, and water. Blend all the ingredients into a smooth batter; the consistency should be similar to pancake batter. Add more water if necessary.
Pour the batter into a large mixing bowl and cover it with a cloth. Let it rest for about an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Heat a non-stick deep frying pan on medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, pour half a cup of batter into a funnel or a piping bag with a small cut at the tip. Carefully pipe the batter into the hot oil in a circular motion to form a small ring or traditional sel roti shape.
Cook the sel roti for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until it is well-cooked and golden brown. Ensure the oil temperature is consistent to prevent quick browning.
Remove the cooked sel roti using a slotted spoon and drain any excess oil on paper towels.
Repeat the process until all the batter is used up, stirring the batter occasionally.
Serve the sel roti warm or at room temperature as a snack or with a hot cup of tea.
