Roti Jala and Sardine Curry # 2 (Lacy Coconut Pancake)

Makes 20 pieces Roti Jala

This time I cooked sardine curry and Roti Jala, Lacy Coconut Pancake. I have got a packet of fresh vegetarian curry powder from Malyn yesterday. She is the sister of my sister in-law Shaliin. The curry powder is blended with dried curry leafs and dried asam fruit. Asam fruit is also call Asam Gelugor, the sour fruit. It gives acids-citric flavour to Nyonya fish curry and Malay curries.

Roti Jala "Lacy Coconut Pancake"

Makes about 15to 20 pieces

Roti Jala is a traditional Malay food. It is light and thin yellow pancake served with Chicken Curry, Chicken Rendang or any Fish Curry. Roti Jala (directly translated as “Net Bread”) - They are essentially savory pancakes which have a net or lace like designs, and are eaten with curries. I call these "Lacy Coconut Pancake". My favorite way to eat them is with chicken and potato curry. And if you asked me what my favorite carb accompaniment to curry was -  this would be it. I would not dare to speak of how many of these I can eat in one sitting…
