Roti Jala (Net Bread)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups Coconut milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups coconut milk, 1 large egg, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Whisk everything together until the batter is completely smooth and there are no lumps.
2. 2Pour the batter through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl to catch any remaining small lumps, ensuring a perfectly smooth consistency.
3. 3Place a non-stick pan or crepe pan on the stovetop and heat it over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C). Add the 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the pan and swirl it around to lightly coat the surface.
4. 4Using a roti jala mold or a squeeze bottle with a small nozzle, carefully drizzle the batter onto the hot pan in a crisscrossing, net-like pattern. Work quickly to create your desired design.
5. 5Cook the roti jala for 1 to 2 minutes on the first side. You will know it's ready to flip when the edges start to look set and are a light golden color.
6. 6Gently flip the roti jala and cook for another 1 minute on the second side until lightly golden.
7. 7Remove the cooked roti jala from the pan and fold it into triangles or roll it up. Repeat steps 4 through 7 with the remaining batter until all the roti jala is cooked.
