Roti Jala

This is a net pancake that is a speciality of Malaysia...Very easy to make..For making that you will need a squeeze bottle like the one which I showed in the pictures or else you can buy a mould that is specially designed for this,it is available in all plastic shops..It will look something like this. I served this with sesame chicken..

Ingrediants:

Flour-1 ¾ cup

Milk-1 ½ cup

Water-½ cup

Egg-1

Salt -1 tsp

Turmeric powder-1 tsp

Oil for greasing

Method:

Mix everything except oil together and form a smooth batter.

Heat the tawa on medium heat..Pour the batter in to a squeeze bottle and gently squeeze it over the tawa.

Let it cook on slow flame till golden brown on bottom.Fold it in triangles.

Serve it with spicy chicken curry.

Pictorial:

Grab your ingrediants

Take flour,salt,turmeric powder in a bowl

fill this into a squeeze bottle

drizzle this in hot tawa ...

let it cook on one side completely...fold it into triangles

Serve and enjoy..

I haven't had this roti jala for a long, long time. When I was young had a Malay neighbour and this grandma used to make this, no gadget, only used her hands to swirl the batter onto the tawa.
