Nepali sel roti (rice doughnuts)

Lightly sweet Nepali rice rings made from soaked and ground rice, fried until golden.

This version of sel roti is made with soaked and ground rice, sugar, ghee, banana, cardamom, and milk. The batter rests before the rings are formed and fried; it should be fluid enough to pour in a continuous stream.
