Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice
- 2 medium Ripe Banana
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or Vegetable Oil
- 1.5 cups Warm Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground Cardamom
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Vegetable Oil for Frying
Instructions
Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Soak the rice in 3 cups of water for 4 hours.
Drain the soaked rice and transfer it to a blender or food processor. Add the peeled bananas and half a cup of warm water.
Blend the mixture until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps. If needed, add more warm water gradually to reach a pouring consistency similar to pancake batter.
Stir in the ghee or vegetable oil, ground cardamom, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated well.
Cover the batter and let it rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours to allow it to ferment slightly, enhancing the flavor.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C) but not smoking.
Once the oil is ready, pour a ladleful of batter into the oil in a circular motion to form a ring shape.
Cook the sel roti until it becomes golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes on each side. Flip gently to ensure even cooking.
Remove the sel roti with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your sugar-free sel roti as a snack or a breakfast treat.
