🇳🇵 Nepal recipe
Sel Roti
Sel roti is the celebratory bread of Nepal, a ring-shaped, semi-sweet rice flour confection deep-fried until gloriously crispy on the outside and soft within. Made during Dashain and Tihar, Nepal's greatest festivals, sel roti requires a special batter of soaked rice ground with sugar, ghee, and cardamom. The art lies in swirling the batter into perfect rings in hot oil, a skill passed down through generations.
