How To Make Roti Jala (Net Pancake)

Roti Jala or Net Pancake is a popular Malaysian tea time snack served with curry dishes. However, to make this light pancake you will need to use a special mold. The traditional mold, made of brass, had three spouts, sadly, it is very to hard to find these days. I did have plastic mold though it wasn't very user-friendly, but don't fret, I have a perfect solution to this, and it involves using any water bottle, and nailing three holes onto the cap. Once you have the water bottle all you have to do is fill it with batter, apply a gentle squeeze on the bottle, and let your"artsy skill" swirl into a net-like pancake. I am sure you'll prefer this foolproof method since it's simple, quick, and clean. Roti Jala Ingredients 200 g All-Purpose Flour 2 Large Eggs 2 tsp Vegetable Oil 1 tsp Sea Salt 1/2 tsp Ground Turmeric 200 ml Water 200 ml Coconut Milk 10" non-stick pan Oil for brushing Method Combine all the ingredients and whisk until t...
