This dish is named roti canai. It is composed of dough containing copious amounts of ghee, flour and water. The entire mixture is kneaded thoroughly, flattened, oiled and folded repeatedly. The method to make roti canai is to twirl it until the dough becomes a very thin sheet and then it is folded into a square shape. The final preparation consists of flattening the dough ball, coating it with oil and then cooking on a flat iron skillet with a lot of oil.

Roti canai usually available at Mamak stalls or restaurants, which can be found almost everywhere in the city. Roti canai is the local Indian bread. Good roti canai is best eaten right off the skillet (when cold it can be chewy and tough). It is crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside and normally served with dhal curry (chickpea gravy), fish curry and chicken curry. Roti canai is normally comes with a cup of "Teh tarikh" .Teh tarik literally means "pulled tea". This is a frothy milk tea which has been skilfully pulled from one mug to another to increase the aroma and increase the cooling process.


There are many type of roti :
This is one of my favorite dish is named Roti Tisu because it is made into a very thin layer and it is melted with sugar which made it taste sweet and crispy. Yummy!!!

 This dish is called roti telur (egg bread) it looked almost same as roti canai. The different between this two dishes is one with egg into it which named roti telur and another one is just plain bread.
