Roti Prata

Bought from Asian Grocery Store My first handmade Roti canai.

Malaysia's Roti Canai, is a pancake made of dough composed of fat, egg,

flour and water and prepared specially similarly to Roti Pratha.

You can't served without curry or, more rarely, with sugar or Condensed Milk.

In addition, although consumed at any time of the day by some locals,

I usually tend to consume it as a late night or early morning dish,

particularly at 24-hour outlets or Mamak stall.I have had a tough

time finding anything close to those foods here.

It was a challenge for me to made this Roti Canai all by myself.

This was my first attempt of making Roti Canai.

The outcome was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

So far, this is the simplest and delicious roti canai I ever made.I am proud of myself too.!
Enjoy a Roti Canai and Teh tarik for breakfast is a wonderful combination!!!

I bought this Authentic curry sauce during my vacation in Sabah,

Malaysia last March.It cost me around RM2.60.I had tried different

brand of packet curry sauce and I found this was the best and

delicious sauce I had tried so far.It's cheap and yet you don't

have to add coconut cream like others do...

why cuz it's already in the sauce itself.

This is why I like it so much...you don't have to spend

another penny for the coconut cream.
