Roti Jala 'net crepe'

Roti Jala - aka “net crepe” is a Malaysian delicacy that goes well with various curries. It is not only popular during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, but also as an afternoon tea snack.

Roti Jala, an alternative to rice, is an excellent accompaniment to rich gravy dishes such as mutton curry, chicken kapitan, kurma.
For those with a sweet tooth, you can also try it with chocolate sauce or condense milk.

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

Method:

1. Sieve the flour and set aside.
2. In a big bowl, mix all the ingredients well together (except the oil) and strain the batter.
3. Add in 1/2 tablespoon of oil and set aside.
4. Heat up a pan with medium heat and grease well.
5. Pour some batter into the mold and transfer the mold to the pan.
6. As the batter flows through the holes of the mold, make circular motions around the pan to form the netty patterns. (Refer to the video above.)
