This is a donut-like preparation made from ground rice and nuts. This is mainly served in Nepali festivals. Ingredients:
3 cups basmati rice, soaked for a few hours |
3 cups soft butter |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 tablespoon ground cardamom |
1/4 cup almond nuts |
1/4 cup cashew nuts |
2 tablespoons grated coconut |
3 cups chilled whole milk |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 liter cooking oil |
powdered sugar, for dusting |
Directions:
1. In a blender, grind soaked rice, grated coconut, almond and cashew nuts into a coarse paste.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground rice, butter and sugar; mix well.
3. Add vanilla extract and salt; incorporate well.
4. Start adding milk gradually to the rice-butter mixture, constantly stirring.
5. The end result should yield a batter with consistency similar to that for pancakes.
6. Heat oil.
7. Pour some of the batter into a baking pipe.
8. Pipe out the mixture into oil so that you have created an enclosed circle.
9. Allow frying until the oil side of Selroti is golden brown; turn over on the other side.
10. Remove from oil once both sides are cooked to golden brown and crispy.
11. Place on a sheet of paper towel to absorb excess oil.
12. Continue frying until all the batter is finished.
13. To serve, place two Selrotis on a plate; dust them with powdered sugar.
