Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1.5 cups Coconut Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 2 cups Mixed Vegetables
  • 2 teaspoons Curry Powder

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour, 1.5 cups Coconut Milk, 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder, and 1/4 teaspoon Salt until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
  2. 2Pour the batter through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate bowl or jug to catch any small lumps, ensuring a perfectly smooth consistency.
  3. 3Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil to the hot pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. The oil should shimmer slightly.
  4. 4Fill a roti jala mold or a squeeze bottle with the batter. Carefully drizzle the batter onto the hot, oiled skillet in a swirling, criss-cross pattern to create a net-like shape. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges of the roti jala begin to lift slightly from the pan.
  5. 5Gently lift the cooked roti jala from the skillet using a thin spatula and set it aside on a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, re-oiling the pan lightly between each roti jala if needed.
  6. 6While the roti jala is cooking, prepare the vegetable stew. Heat a separate medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the 2 cups Mixed Vegetables and the 2 teaspoons Curry Powder to the saucepan. Stir and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and fragrant.
