To Prepare :
- In a bowl, lightly whisk coconut milk, eggs, water, salt and turmeric powder
-
Sift all-purpose flour into a mixing bowl
-
Stir in the coconut-egg mixture gradually and mix, until a thin 'crepe-like batter'
is achieved
- Strain
the batter through a fine sieve
- On med-low heat, grease
and heat a griddle or a medium sized non-stick pan
-
Put a ladleful of batter into a Roti Jala mould/cup and in
a circular motion, form a thin lacy pattern in the pan [about 8 inch in diameter]
-
Cook until set, turn over onto a plate [There is no need to
cook the other side, much like a regular crepe]
-
Fold
each crepe into quarters, staking them up as you go
-
As you make the crepes, grease the pan ever so often [Add a little water
to the batter
if it becomes too thick to maintain a crepe-like batter]
- Serve
Roti Jala with
Malaysian Chicken Curry,
Mutton Kurma,
Chicken Kapitan or Lamb Cashew Kurma
[also spelt Korma]
Cook's Note :
A Roti Jala cup-like mould [made out
of metal or plastic], can be found sold in some Southeast
Asian marts. You can easily make one out a tin can!
To make your own Roti Jala mould/cup :
- 1 empty tin can, [e.g. a 12oz can of corn]
-
Using a hammer and a 0.2 inch nail, make 5 or 6 holes [evenly spaced on the bottom of the can]
-
Hammer out any sharp edges
