Roti Jala (Lacy Pancake)

Roti Jala is a popular local snacks, served with curry gravy.  Since I am cooking curry chicken, might as well I make some roti jala or Lacy Pancake for our afternoon tea.  It's a simple recipe to follow and enjoy...



Ingredients:
200g. plain flour (sifted)
1 tbsp. tapioca flour (sifted)
1 tsp. tumeric powder (sifted)
1 egg
300ml. milk
50ml. water 
1 tbsp. cooking oil
Salt to taste

Methods: 

  1. In a bowl whisk together all ingredients until well mixed.  
  2. Pour the batter through a sieve to get a smooth batter.  
  3. Prepare a non-stick pan over low medium heat.
  4. Pour the batter into a plastic cup with five nozzles.  Move the cup into a circular motion over the pan to form a lacy pattern.  Cook until set.  Slide the pancake out of the pan onto a plate.  When cool enough to handle fold in both sides and roll to form a net parcel.  Repeat until all is done.
  5. Serve with curry gravy.

Note:  If the batter is too thick to flow through the nozzle, add more water by tablespoon, until you get a smooth flow through the nozzle.
