The making of Roti Canai #1

>> Wednesday, July 1, 2009

Roti Canai is a well known dish among Malaysians expecially Penangites..
I wonder which Malaysian never tasted to great roti canai before?
It is actually a simply recipe to be prepared..
The ingredients can be easily obtained too..
We eat it like for breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea, dinner, supper and when we are hungry..

These are the ingredients:

Wheat Flour/ Bread flour: 300g
Egg: 1 nos
Milk: 50 ml
Cooking oil/ Vegetable oil: 2 tbsp
Water: 5-10ml depends on the dough
Butter/Margerine: 50g

The mothods are even simplier..

1) Flour, Egg, Milk and cooking oil are mix and knead (Like washing clothes with ure hands?)..
2) Water is added bit by bit till the dough turns soft and sticky.. Continue kneading..
3) When the dough is done, knead the butter/margering in, till the dough turns oily..
4) Rest the dough for 10 minutes then portion it into 100g-120g each.. 6 mini dough will be formed..
5) Further rest it for 1/2 day or overnight in a dark area, thinly spread with oil..
6) If you are unsure on how to flip and fold, you can always go to the mamak stalls and stalk the MAMAK CHEF! LOLs..
7) As usual, pan-fry the roti canai with planta/margerine so that it smells like a roti canai..
Ahh.. Good luck trying..


Mix everything here.. Knead, knead and knead till everything mix evenly..

Knead the butter/margerine in.. Till it turns soft and oily..

Make the dough back into round and rest it before portioning..

Portion equally.. Use a scale la.. Fish market one also can.. If not later the roti canai size abit funny one..

Later on, spread with a thin layer of vegetable oil so that the dough does not stick together and make some unwanted bondings..

Aisheh.. So sorry lah, I did not take video of how I flip the roti.. Go stalk the mamak!!

Pan-fry with a lil bit of planta or margerine till a burnt crust is formed.. Then whack the roti with your bare hands sideways.. Too cool it lah.. Stalk the MAMAK chef again.. Don't ask me why..

Later on tear it and serve with fish curry, dal or castor sugar..
This is my first attemp too..
Tak Paham, Tanya Chef MAMAK kat man-mana pun..
