Tasty Malaysian Roti Jala (Lacy Net Crepe)
A quick and delicious simple crepe pancake that is delicious on its own or tastes fabulous served as an accompaniment to stew and curries, especially Kari Ayam (Chicken Curry).
Equipment
- Blender
- Plastic Condiment Squeeze Bottle, or Repurposed Soda bottle* (see note below)
- Non stick pan
Ingredients
- 3 cups Flour
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Coconut Milk, or regular Milk
- 1 Egg
- 1½ tsp Tumeric Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 3 Tbs Coconut oil, and more for the pan
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into blender. Blend well for 1 minute or until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat a large non stick pan using low to medium heat. Lightly oil the pan.
- Pour batter into plastic squeeze bottle. Replace cap.
- Drizzle batter in circles on the pan in a slow and steady stream. Have fun creating different lacy patterns.
- The roti cooks up quickly so watch the batter closely and adjust heat as necessary.
- Since the roti is fairly thin, you'll only need to cook it on one side. It is ready when the edges starts to turn lightly brown. Remove promptly from the pan into a large plate. Fold into quarters or roll up into logs.
- It's ready! Let's makan!
Notes
*Note on Repurposed Soda Bottle
You can easily create your own roti jala maker by using a clean dry soda bottle. I used a small bottle for easy handling. Puncture the plastic soda cap with 3 small holes. Fill batter into the bottle, replace cap, and you are ready to go!
