“Roti Jala( Net Crepes)”












Ingredients for Roti Jala ( To produce 20 Roti Jala):


2 cups of all purpose flour
2 eggs
3/4 cups of thick coconut milk
1 1/4 cups of skim milk
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of tumeric powder
water (depend on the batter, if it can't flow thru the roti jala cup, add 1-2 tbsp each time)

Tools:
Roti Jala cup
Flat pan ( I used 30cm diameter iron flat pan which only cost me RM10)




Methods:
1.  Fold all ingredient in a mixing bowl and mix well and smooth.
2.  Then test the batter with the Roti Jala cup to check whether it can flow
     thru the hole or not. If the batter too thick, then add abit water and mix 
     thru until the batter can flow thru the cup easily.
3.  Heat the pan over low heat, then pour abit oil on top of the pan, then use  
     kitchen paper towel to wipe it on the entire pan.
4.  Place a small plate under the standing roti jala cup and scoop the batter
     into the roti jala cup until ~90% full. I'm using a measuring cup to pour the
     batter into the roti jala cup as I found this method is the easiest and faster 
     way to do the job.
5.  Transfer the small plate with the cup fill with batter to the pan and let the
     batter flow on the pan. My method to make the pattern is from outer
     circle slowly go into innest circle, then make small circle along the pan to
     overlap the previous big circle. I learn this from my office's cafe cook
     while waiting for my order last time.
6.  When the roti jala started to turn to pale yellow, fold half of it and transfer
     entire roti into the center of the pan. Within few seconds, turn this roti to
     another side for another few seconds and fold it into quarter to transfer
     out from pan to a plate.
7.  You may fold into whatever shape you prefer and it is ready to serve.
