Roti Jala

saw this Roti Jala recipe on the magazine
and hand itchy for very long liao...
finally saw the Cup in JJ last Monday
and it was only RM1.50 - 5%
grapped it without second thought!
.
bearly simple recipe:
1 cup Coconut Milk, half cup Water,
1/4 tsp Tumeric Powder, 1/4 tsp Salt,
1 egg, 1 cup Wheat Flour,
cooking oil to grease pan
*sieve is very important here to prevent clogs
* in a bowl~ lightly whisk coconut milk,
egg, water, salt, tumeric powder
* sift flour into a mixing bowl
and gradually add the wet ingredients
*stir till batter get smooth
*strain batter through a fine sieve
*brush a thin layer of oil over a non-stick frying pan
*over medium heat, pour a ladleful of batter
into the roti jala cup and in a circular motion,
form a thin lacy pattern in the pan
*cook until set and slightly brown on some edges
*fold into quarters
.
the cup really gave me a lot of problems
until i nearly give up liao...
i also tried using plastic bag n cut a small edge
...after a plateful of FAILURE
i had my last try on a mineral water bottle
poke a hole on the cap
and squeeze batter on the pan
hmmm.... it works!!!
need some skills also~
the line cannot be too thick...
cannot overlap too much... cannot be too thin...
cannot have dots... blah blah...
Victory!!!
it was suppose to be for breakfast
but i spent 1.5 hours dealing with it
until pass the breakfast slot liao T_T
Snakie still insisted to taste it
so i make the second batch for dinner
no failure at all~~~~~~!!!! weeeee~~~
Snakie enjoyed it~ yay! can meka again next time!
bot this from D'Sayang~
i told the guy: saya nak beli dhall (while pointing at it)
he said: ini bukan dhall...
me: huh? then apa ini?
he: ini SAMBAL!
me: .....=_="""" takpa lah, saya nak beli ni
since on the way back n while eating it
my mind still very confused~~~
i even googled Dhall & Sambal!!!!
it is dhall curry wat~

adohai~

ah yan,我昨天也是做roti jala吃,还以为半小时就能做好了,竟然用了1小时才做好5片,晕。。 我没有那个做roti jala的黄色模型,我开始是用塑胶装番茄浆的那种罐子装面糊,可能是面糊有颗粒吧,阻塞洞口,怎么挤都挤不出来。。一气之下,就用汤匙拿面糊一条条勺进锅子里,再慢慢加点线条链接起来,还真的成功做出网状煎面糊了,我还在想要去买roti jala模型,你却说不好用哦,看来还是不要买了,免得又是英雄无用武之地,哈哈

这个我不是很爱
总是觉得有点印度味道
下次试一试自已做做看
是否能够改变我对它的偏见,嘻嘻

那个印度味道应该是黄姜粉吧~呵呵!

I think you need to cover the base of the cup when you transfer to the pan. I've seen people make it and they swirl it really fast.

BTW, nice improvisation on the bottle. Good idea!! If I want to make this the next time, I won't buy a jala cup :)
