Roti jala, Malaysia's iconic lace-patterned bread, is made by drizzling a thin batter over a hot pan in circular motions to form a web pattern. Folded into quarters and stacked, it is often shared with a spicy curry as a late-night snack.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the batter

5 min

Whisk the flour, eggs, coconut milk, water, salt and turmeric together until you have a smooth, pourable batter.

2

Rest the batter

10 min

Cover and rest the batter for 10 minutes so the flour fully absorbs the liquid and the flow evens out.

3

Form the lace pattern

10 min

Pour the batter through a perforated cup over the hot greased pan in circular motions to create the web pattern, cooking several sheets over 10 minutes.

4

Fold and serve

5 min

Fold each lace sheet into quarters and stack them, serving warm alongside a curry.

Reminder

If you do not pour the batter in a thin, steady stream from a perforated cup or bottle, the lace pattern will not form, and a thick stream makes the bread dense and tough. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), egg.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Leave out the turmeric and the bread turns a paler yellow with no change in flavour; using regular milk instead of coconut milk gives a lighter texture.

Hamuru delikli bir konserve kutusuyla denedim çünkü özel şişem yoktu, ilk denemede delikler fazla genişti ve ağ deseni yerine kalın çizgiler çıktı. İkinci seferde deliği küçülttüm, tavayı da orta ateşte tutunca gerçek dantel gibi çıktı.
