Crispy on the outside, soft and spongy on the inside — this festive Nepali Sel Roti gets a healthy upgrade. Recreated perfectly with fiber-rich Agrim Chakki Atta, these traditional sweet rice-and-wheat rings bring the taste of celebration home.

Ingredients

For the batter:

• 1.5 cups rice flour

• 1 cup Agrim Chakki Atta

• 4 tbsp sugar

• 3 tbsp ghee (melted)

• 1 tsp cardamom powder

• 1 cup milk or water (to adjust consistency)

For frying:

• Deep frying oil or ghee

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter In a large bowl, whisk together rice flour, Agrim Chakki Atta, sugar, and cardamom powder. Pour in the melted ghee and milk gradually, mixing vigorously to create a smooth, thick, pourable batter. Let it rest for 20 minutes.

2. Heat the Oil Heat oil in a flat-bottomed heavy pan or karahi on medium-high heat. The oil must be hot enough so the batter floats instantly.

3. Pour and Fry Squeeze the batter through a funnel or a cut plastic bag directly into the hot oil, moving your hand in a circular motion to form a ring. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side using wooden skewers (Dhingro) to flip, until golden brown and crispy.
