Roti Canai




Roti canai (pronounced "chanai," not "kanai") is a type of flatbread found in Malaysia. It is nearly identical to Singaporean roti prata and a close descendant of Kerala porotta.The secret or hawker's hint to serve a fluffy yet crispy bite roti canai is to place fried roti canai on a flat surface and with both hands give a soft clap


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup warm water and 1 tsp salt mixed together
  • 3 tbsps ghee or butter
  • 600 gms all purpose flour
  • Sugar to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix together flour, water, sugar and egg. Knead until a soft dough is formed.
2. Form into small balls and keep overnight.
3. When you are ready to make the roti canai, spread the ghee on the balls and flatten.
4. Heat an iron griddle and fry the rotis individually until cooked.
5. Serve hot with a curry or dhall.
