Ingredients required for Sel Roti: Rice (soaked): 2 cups (coarse rice is best) Sugar/jaggery: 1/2 cup (tasty) Ghee/butter: 2 tbsp Cardamom powder: 1 tsp Milk or water: as required (for batter) Oil/ghee: for frying Get the step-by-step recipe (How to Make Sel Roti) Prepare the rice: Wash the rice thoroughly and soak it for at least 4-6 hours or overnight. Grind the batter: Drain the water from the soaked rice and put it in a mixer. Add sugar (or jaggery), cardamom powder and ghee to it. Add a little water or milk and grind it finely. Note: The batter should not be too thin, its consistency should be such that it forms a stream when dropped by hand. Beating is important: Take out the prepared batter in a big vessel and beat it well by hand for 5-10 minutes. Due to this, the cell roti swells and becomes soft from inside. Method of frying: Heat oil in a wide pan (flat bottom pan). The oil should be medium hot. Shape: Now take the batter in your hand and make a circle in the oil by dropping it between your fingers. You can also use a bottle or piping bag for this. Cook till golden: Fry it on medium flame till it becomes golden and crisp from both the sides. You can use a traditional wooden stick or tongs to turn it. Pro-tips to make the perfect Sel Roti: Touch of semolina: If you want more crispness, you can add 1 tablespoon of fine semolina to the batter. Spices: Some people also add grated coconut or clove powder to it, which enhances the taste. Storage: You can easily store the Sel Roti for 4-5 days.
