What is Roti Jala?
Roti Jala is a traditional Malaysian crepe-like pancake known for its eye-catching lacy pattern. The batter is made from a combination of flour, eggs, water, and a touch of turmeric for colour. This is then poured through a special ladle with multiple holes, creating a unique net-like texture when it hits the hot pan.
How to Make Roti Jala
Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients to make roti jala:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions
To make the batter, mix together the flour, turmeric, eggs, water, and oil in a bowl until combined. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil.
To make the roti jala, slowly pour the batter through a ladle with multiple holes into the pan, rotating it in a circular motion to create a lacy pattern. Cook for 2–3 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve the roti jala warm with your favourite curry or chutney. Enjoy!
Tips for Making Roti Jala
For best results, use a non-stick pan and be sure to grease it lightly with oil before pouring the batter. This will help to prevent the roti jala from sticking to the pan.
If the batter is too thick, add a little more water until it reaches the desired consistency. The batter should be pourable, but not too thin.
For a richer flavour, add a pinch of salt to the batter.
