Begin by making cauliflower rice if not already prepped. Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cauliflower rice, almond flour, and unsweetened shredded coconut, stirring well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the Whole30 compliant egg, coconut milk, and melted coconut oil, whisking until well emulsified.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir until a batter forms. It should be slightly thick and sticky.
Add cardamom powder, cinnamon powder, and salt to the batter, mixing until the spices are fully incorporated.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the almond flour and coconut to absorb excess moisture.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with coconut oil if necessary.
Using a ladle, pour a small amount of batter onto the skillet, forming a circular shape similar to a pancake or roti. Adjust thickness to your preference.
Cook each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to touch. Use a spatula to gently flip the sel roti.
Once cooked, remove from skillet and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve warm or at room temperature, ideal for pairing with a Whole30 compliant curry or stew.
