Roti Jala



Roti Jala (Lacy pancake / Net bread)- The name is derived from the Malay word 'roti' (bread) and 'jala' (net). A special ladle with a five-hole perforation is normally used, to make the bread looks like a fish net . I don't have this mold , but i wanted to try this recipe. So my hubby made me a mold using a styrofoam cup. Yeah....he made 4 holes at the bottom and my roti jala mold was ready.

Ingredients:

All purpose-flour – 1 cup
Egg – 1, medium
Coconut milk or milk – 1 cup
Water -½ cup
Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
Oil – 1 tsp
Salt - *

Directions:

In a big bowl, whisk the egg and add all other ingredients except oil and mix well. Heat a pan over medium heat and grease with the oil. Pour the batter into roti jala mold and transfer the mold to the pan in circular motion around the pan, it will look like a net. Once the top is cooked, fold into a triangle shape and transfer into the plate. Traditionally this will be served with spicy chicken curry or Serawa. Serawa is made from a mixture of boiled coconut milk, brown sugar and pandan leaf, I tried it with a spicy curry and I will post the recipe later.
