Indian Cuisine: Roti Jala (Net Crepe)

Posted by The 4 Chiquez at 8:54 PM



INGREDIENTS : 
2 cups all-purpose flour [preferably unbleached] 
2 eggs, lightly beaten 
2 cups coconut milk 
1 cup water 
½ tsp salt 
½ tsp turmeric powder 
cooking oil to grease pan
FYI : Roti Jala, an alternative to rice, is an excellent accompaniment to rich gravy dishes:-


Method:



  1. In a bowl, lightly whisk coconut milk, eggs, water, salt and turmeric powder 
  2. Sift all-purpose flour into a mixing bowl 
  3. Stir in the coconut-egg mixture gradually and mix, until a thin 'crepe-like batter' is achieved 
  4. Strain the batter through a fine sieve 
  5. On med-low heat, grease and heat a griddle or a medium sized non-stick pan 
  6. 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] 
  7. Cook until set, turn over onto a plate [There is no need to cook the other side, much like a regular crepe] 
  8. Fold each crepe into quarters, staking them up as you go 
  9. 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]
