Method :
Mix together flour, water, sugar
and egg. Knead until soft dough is formed. Form into small balls and keep
overnight. When you are ready to make the roti
canai, spread the ghee on the balls and flatten. Heat an iron griddle and fry the
roti canai individually until cooked. Serve hot with a curry or dhall.
Serves 6 - 8
If there is anything better than sliced
bread, it is roti canai, a flat, unleavened Indian bread that is spun
and tossed before being pan-fried. Typically eaten with curry, it is
available with different fillings - eggs, sardines, onions, bananas or
chocolate. Roti Canai is best savored with lentil or chicken curry. Roti
Canai is a traditional Malaysian breakfast which is a light crispy
pancake made from wheat flour. A staple in the Malaysian, Singapore, and Kerala (India)
diet, roti canai is synonymous with mamak (Indian-Muslim) restaurants,
many of which operate around the clock (Malaysia) and with al-fresco
dining areas. It is common to see mamak patrons having roti canai at any
hour of the day, as a light snack or even a meal by itself. Watch the
experts pound, stretch and toss the dough and then cook it to perfection
on a griddle. Be sure to
watch how roti canais are made - the showmanship itself is worth as much
as the grub !
