Roti Jala
Roti Jala
Roti Jala is a popular Malaysian dish which translates to “net bread” in English. It is a type of lacy, net-like pancake made from a mixture of flour, eggs, coconut milk, and water. The batter is poured into a special funnel with multiple small holes and then swirled onto a hot greased pan in a lacy pattern. Once cooked, Roti Jala is usually served with curry or other savory dishes. It’s not only delicious but also visually appealing due to its intricate design.
Ingredients
Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, coconut milk, water, eggs, turmeric powder, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined and smooth. The batter should be thin and pourable.
- Strain the batter to remove any lumps for a smoother consistency.
- Pour the batter into a Roti Jala mold or a squeeze bottle with small holes.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil.
- Hold the Roti Jala mold or squeeze bottle over the pan and swirl the batter in a lacy pattern.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the Roti Jala is set and the edges start to lift. Do not flip the Roti Jala.
- Gently remove the cooked Roti Jala from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the Roti Jala warm with your favorite curry or sauce.
- Enjoy!
