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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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!
