:: Ingredients for Roti Chanai
2C Flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp each of salt & sugar
3/4 C of melted butter/ghee
:: How to make Roti Chanai
Mix the flour and salt, sugar and liquid to a med. soft
dough. Add more liquid if it
is too dry or add more flour gradually if too wet (due to
humidity). Then when
dough is kneaded till smooth, break it into small golf
ball size, rub them with
some butter (from tub-ok) then place them in a big bowl.
Cover them up for rest
at least 4-6 hours , best overnite.
Then on work surface spray some butter and then pat the
ball of dough, then roll
it til the best you can, then use your fingers to pull all
around till a nice thin
pastry is achieved . Sprinkle some of the melted butter or
ghee or pam and pull
them up as it drapes then make it into a circular shape,
tucking the end under. Or
just fold it but sprinkle a little after the 2 sides are
folded before the other 2 flaps
are down to create the layered texture.
Heat pan and lightly oil or pam and fry on med. low then
pressing it down gently
as it puffs up to enable all layers to cook esp. if made
into turban rolls.
When the white colour dough turns into opaque and light
golden brown, its done.
Serve with dhal/chicken curry or just sugar or jam.
Happy cooking. But start out with a small amount to get
the hang of spreading
out the pastry dough.
Actually, this roti canai or turban bread which we
sometimes call it is very
versatile that you can make any amount of flour or dough
which the liquid just
varies till it makes a nice med. dough. I just use a
chinese soup spoon to scoop
the flour.
