ROTI JALA - Net Bread
Roti Jala, also known as "net bread" or "lace pancake," is a popular Malaysian and Indonesian delicacy. It's a type of thin, lacy pancake that's often served with savory curries or spicy dishes. Here's a simple recipe to make Roti Jala:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (for color, optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil, for greasing the pan
Instructions:
Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour. Add the egg, coconut milk, water, turmeric powder (if using), and salt. Whisk everything together until you get a smooth batter without lumps. The consistency should be similar to that of crepe batter.
Fill the Roti Jala Dispenser:
- Pour the batter into a roti jala dispenser or a squeeze bottle with a small hole tip. If you don't have a dispenser, you can use a small funnel or even a plastic bag with a tiny corner snipped off.
Heat the Pan:
- Lightly grease a non-stick frying pan or a roti jala pan with a little vegetable oil. Place it over medium heat until hot.
Make the Roti Jala:
- Hold the roti jala dispenser or squeeze bottle over the hot pan and drizzle the batter in a crisscross or circular motion to form a lacy pattern. Start from the outer edges and work your way inward. Leave some space between each lace pattern to allow them to cook evenly.
Cook Until Set:
- Cook the roti jala for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the surface appears dry. Avoid flipping the roti jala over, as it's meant to be cooked on one side only.
Fold and Serve:
- Carefully lift the cooked roti jala from the pan using a spatula or your fingers. Fold it into a triangle or roll it into a tube shape.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter until all the roti jala are cooked.
Serve Warm:
- Serve the roti jala warm with your favorite curry or spicy dish. It's best enjoyed fresh off the pan.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Roti Jala as a delightful accompaniment to your Malaysian or Indonesian meals!
