Roti Canai

Ingredients8

• all-purpose flour400 g
• salt1 tsp
• sugar1 tbsp
• egg1
• sweetened condensed milk2 tbsp
• water180 ml
• vegetable oil3 tbsp
• ghee4 tbsp

Method

1. Mix the flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Add the egg, condensed milk, and water, and knead until a soft, smooth dough forms.
2. Work in 1 tbsp of oil, then cover the dough and rest it for at least 1 hour.
3. Divide the dough into 8 balls. Coat each ball generously with oil so the surface stays slick, then rest them for 15 minutes.
4. On an oiled surface, flatten a ball and stretch it outward with oiled hands until it is paper-thin, then fold the edges inward to form a layered square.
5. Heat a flat griddle over medium heat and grease it lightly with ghee.
6. Cook each roti for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until puffed, flaky, and golden brown.
7. Clap the hot roti between your hands to separate the layers, then serve immediately with dhal or curry.
