Roti Jala (Malaysia)
Roti jala is a popular Malaysian
snack, which is a delicious pancake made of flour, eggs, milk and turmeric
powder. Literally translated, roti jala means net bread and refers to the
intricate net design inspired by the nets of Malaysian fishermen.
The snack is usually served hot
alongside curries (especially potato and chicken curries) and is recommended to
be paired with a cup of tea. It is traditionally prepared for numerous
Malaysian festivities and celebrations, such as weddings and birthdays.
Because roti jala is quite small,
it is usually served in three or four pieces to accompany curries, but can also
be enjoyed on its own in many Malaysian restaurants throughout the year.
