Roti Jala (Malaysian Style Lacy Crepe) 【网饼】


Roti Jala is traditionally eaten with Mutton or Beef curry, I made this Malaysian net crepe to go with my Mamak Mutton Curry.

I do not have the mould to make this Roti Jala, so I made one using a disposable cup, and it works just fine!

这个网饼根据传统是必须和牛肉咖喱或者羊肉咖喱一起吃的。我为明天的聚餐做了羊肉咖喱,所以就兴起做网饼的主意。在马来西亚它有专门的模来做这个饼,模因为有尖尖的嘴,做出来的网饼很漂亮。

可我没把模具带到美国来,所以就自己做了一个简易的模子。出来效果很是不错哦!

Ingredients:
2 cups of All purpose flour
3 medium size eggs
2 cups of Coconut milk/Milk + 2 tbsp of water
1 1/2 tbsp cooking oil
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Turmeric powder or a few drops of yellow coloring

材料:
2 杯 面粉
3 只 (中)鸡蛋
2 杯  椰奶/牛奶 + 2 大勺水
1 1/2 大勺 食油
1/2 小勺 盐
1 小勺 黄姜粉


1. Whisk together eggs, milk, water, turmeric powder and salt, add flour and whisk until smooth, leave it aside for 20-30 minutes. 

2. The batter should be of the consistency of French crepe.

Note: Try pouring the batter into mold, if it drips, the batter is too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of water, the batter should fall out smoothly.

1. 先做模子,用一根0.2号的钉子烤红了,在用后即弃的杯子上烙出几个小洞口,洞子不能太大,大了流出一团团的面糊,面饼不成形,也不能小了,小了面糊用滴的,也拉不出线条。

 Ps:还要说的是做这个网饼手法要快要准,不然面糊漏得太快或者不平均,就不成形了。

2. 把所有材料混合,静置20-30 分钟. 



2. Lightly grease a griddle or frying pan on medium-low. Pour around 1/2 cup of batter into the mould. Move the mold in circular motion to form lacy pattern. Cook for 2 minutes until set, DO NOT NEED to turn the crepe.

4. Turn the crepe on a plate, cover it with clean cloth, wait for 2-3 minutes for it to soften before folding/rolling it up

3. 平底锅抹上一层薄薄的油,中小火热上。把面糊倒入模里,在一口平底锅上以画圈的方式拉出花纹,烙熟即可,不必翻面。

4. 把饼倒到一块干净的案板上,稍微等2-3分钟,变软之后卷起或折起即可。

Serve with any type of curries of your choice, I liked mine with Mutton curry.

    1. it is such a sad thing to hear this, over the years, I have always feel disappointed eating back home in Malaysia, considering how excited I was to eat what I missed being out of Malaysia so long.

      But then like I said, i was greatly disappointed, I always attribute it to the change of my taste buds... looks like it isn't then.
