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
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (for color)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Cooking oil (for greasing the pan)

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Strain the batter to remove any lumps for a smoother consistency.
  3. Pour the batter into a Roti Jala mold or a squeeze bottle with small holes.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil.
  5. Hold the Roti Jala mold or squeeze bottle over the pan and swirl the batter in a lacy pattern.
  6. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the Roti Jala is set and the edges start to lift. Do not flip the Roti Jala.
  7. Gently remove the cooked Roti Jala from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve the Roti Jala warm with your favorite curry or sauce.
  9. Enjoy!
