New 2015 achievement! I learned how to make Roti Jala! Woot woot. I was at the in laws house and my MIL made this DELICIOUS Roti Jala (they are called roti kirai up north!). I was surprised at how easy it is to make the batter and how quick it took to cook em. SO here is an easy peasy recipe for you Roti Jala lovers out there!
Original recipe: here
Roti Jala
1 cup water
1/4 cup milk
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon tumeric powder
1 tablespoon oil
1 egg
More oil for frying
- In a blender (you heard me right, a blender), put in the water, milk, flour, tumeric powder,oil and egg.
- Blend until everything is well incorporated.
- Run the batter through a sieve to get rid of any lumps.Set aside.
- Using a non-stick pan, spray it with oil or grease the pan with a thin layer of oil.
- Once the pan is hot, but the batter into the mould and make net like patterns on the pan.
- The batter is cooked, when the top side of the batter is dry. There is NO NEED to flip it and fry the other side.
- Transfer the cook batter on a flat surface and roll them into small cylinders.
- Serve with any kind of curry.
We eat this for breakfast or during tea time. In Malaysia, it isn't offensive to serve Roti Jala when it isn't hot. We don't necessarily chill them, but room temperature Roti Jala will not make your relatives say nasty things about you under their breaths. Really. Perhaps a not-so-good curry will. Let's be honest, my curry is something that people will ask..."betul ke ini kari?rupa macam tak je".=.='
Till, then.
Love,
Sofhan Hasni
