Roti Jala is a yellow lacy crepe or pancake. By appearance, it resembles the putu mayong, except that roti jala is savory and served with chicken curry. While putu mayong has an Indian origin, roti jala is more likely to be sold by the Malays, though Nyonya Chinese has also adopted this dish for themselves.
To make roti jala, one needs to get its mould or roti-jala cup, which is made from metal or now, increasingly, of plastic. The mould allows the batter to flow through in tiny threads, where it solidified on a hot pan.
Roti Jala Ingredients
plain flour
eggs
coconut milk
turmeric powder
water
salt to taste
Roti jala is almost always served with chicken curry. So this has to be prepared separately as the accompaniment.
