A ring of sweetened rice batter poured in one circling motion into hot oil — crisp outside, chewy inside, and the smell of Tihar in every Nepali household.

Passaggi

  1. Drain the soaked rice well and grind it with the milk into a thick, smooth batter. Work in batches and stop while it is still just pourable.

  2. Beat in the sugar, ghee, banana, cardamom, cloves and salt. Beat hard for 5 minutes — this is what makes the ring puff instead of sinking.

    💡 Rest the batter 1 hour before frying. It thickens as it sits, so judge the consistency after the rest, not before.

  3. Heat the oil in a deep, wide pan to 170°C — a drop of batter should rise and sizzle within 3 seconds without browning instantly.

  4. Pour the batter into a jug or a squeeze bottle. Hold it 10 cm above the oil and pour a circle in one continuous motion, joining the ends.

    💡 One motion, no hesitation. A ring poured in two goes joins badly and breaks when you turn it.

  5. Fry 90 seconds, turn it with two skewers, and give it another 60 seconds until deep gold. Lift and drain upright so the oil runs off.

  6. Cool on a rack, not a plate. Stacked warm, the rings steam each other soft.

💡 Consigli

  • Sel roti keeps for days at room temperature and is eaten cold with tea or yoghurt — it is not a dish you have to serve hot.
  • The first two are always ugly. That is the oil finding its temperature, not you failing.
  • Banana is not traditional everywhere, but it is the most common home shortcut for the softness a long grind used to give.
