Ingredients:

210g plain flour
80ml water
240ml lukwarm milk
1 large egg
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
a little cooking oil (about 1/2 tsp per roti)

Method:

Beat the egg in a bowl then add the milk and whisk to mix. Sift together the flour, salt and turmeric into a separate bowl then beat-in the water until you have a batter. Now whisk in the egg and milk mixture beat until smooth.

Strain the resultant batter to remove any lumps. Heat about 1/2 tsp oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour the batter into a Roti Jala mould (or a condiment bottle) and drizzle the batter into the pan. This should be done using a swirling motion extending from the centre of the pan to the edges. Once the surface of the pan has been covered this way repeat the pouring in a diagonal pattern until you have a netting effect.

Allow the roti to cook on one side for 3 minutes then fold in half and in half again, so that you have a wedge shape. Take a large spatula and press down on the roti for 10 seconds then remove from the pan and set aside. Add more oil in the pan and cook more of the batter (the recipe should yield about 12). This makes an excellent accompaniment to Rendang Daging.
