Roti Jala Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

  • Batter
  • 200 g plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 400 ml milk
  • 2 tbsp oil

 

PREPARATION:

1. MAKE THE BATTER

Mix all the batter ingredients together. Beat the batter until it is smooth. Strain to remove any lumps. Set the mixture aside to rest for at least 20 mins. (Place it in the refrigerator if it is left to rest longer.)

METHOD:

1. HEAT THE PAN

Lightly grease a crepe pan or flat plan with oil. Heat over a low-medium flame.

2. POUR THE BATTER

Scoop some batter up using the Roti Jala dispenser. Using a circular motion, drizzle the batter onto the pan to form a thin lacy pancake. Hold a small plate or bowl underneath the dispenser to prevent any excess batter from dripping onto the pan. The Roti Jala is cooked once it easily pulls away from the pan (about 3 min). Fold it into quartersand remove. Do not flip it like a pancake. Continue with steps 3 and 4, stirring the batter each time (as flour tends to settle at the bottom).

2. SERVE THE ROTI JALA

Cover the Roti Jala with cling film or a clean moist tea towel until it is ready to be served.
