Sel roti is a traditional Nepalese sweet dish made from deep-fried dough.
It has a distinctive ring shape, resembling a donut.
The key ingredient is rice flour, giving it a unique texture.
It's especially popular during Dashain and Tihar, major Hindu festivals in Nepal and nearby regions.
Other common ingredients include water, sugar, ghee (clarified butter), and sometimes spices.
Sel roti is considered a symbol of Nepali culture and festivities, often served at weddings and ceremonies.
Special machines called "soli" are now available to simplify the preparation process.
