Malaysian Roti Jala
It’s the 1st time I tried n tasted!!! ‘Jala’ means net… A crepe with net type of texture is known as ‘Jala Roti’ in Malaysia :)
A few days back when I was surfing through blogosphere, read about this roti somewhere! & bookmarked that page to try it out later… Last evening, I was going to make brown lentils stew with steamed rice only. But that was a quick one! I found myself totally free in 15-20 mins… Still wanted to make something for experiment or may be something to have with a warm lentils stew!
After too much of mind-currying, I remembered this roti :) Got a cup of plain flour, broke one egg n found a good zip-lock bag for a quick try! Result was clearly visible on hubby’s face… :P He ate these rotis before tasting stew or rice!!! In a way, it’s good to know that experiment was super-successful :P
