About Roti Jala Recipe
Roti jala, jala roti, roti kirai, or roti renjis are popular Malay tea time snacks served with curry dishes in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. The roti jala is a lovely dish that, due to its construction, resembles a lace doily. This is a very traditional Malay dish that is usually made from scratch and served at special occasions such as weddings and festivals.
It is typically served in groups of three to four pieces with curries, particularly chicken curry, as a substitute for rice. Roti jala literally translates to net bread, referring to its intricate net design inspired by Malaysian fishermens nets.

Eggs are essential in this recipe which creates the texture and holds the bread.

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.
