Roti - Wrap - Flatbread Recipe

Roti - The Indian Flatbread

This roti is different from the Malaysia's Roti Canai. Malaysia's roti canai is butterly and oily but this one is dry and similar like a wrap which is so much healthier. You can also save a lot of money to make your own wrap.

I learn to eat this when I stayed in Thornbury, VIC with my housemate from north India. They are a lovely couples and the wife always cook at home. They always offered me to eat with them and that's how I know about this. She will make fresh roti almost everyday for dinner. Every time when I saw her making, I think it was complicated because you need to roll the dough, make into shape and cook one by one. But I really miss her roti and thus I decided to learn to make my own. Another reason that made me want to make this because of the wraps sold in Malaysia are not cheap, around RM5 to RM7 for 'mission' brand. Also, I miss tortilla and quesadilla, kebab - those Mexican and Middle East dishes.

This was my first time making and I made them into super mini shape. They were so cute!

Thin and irregular in shape. I was having great fun making these tiny little cutie. Although it will be a huge mess, it is a very great activity for kids!

To keep them warm, cover them with a clean towel.

The roti will bloat into a ball when the pan is very hot. This also means it is ready!

That's how I eat it like a tortilla.

Ingredients

1 cup wheat flour ( Any flour )

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp oil

1 cup water

Directions

Put wheat flour, salt and oil into a bowl. Stir them together.
Gradually add water into the flour until it form a dough.
Knead the dough until it is not too soft nor too hard.
Form the dough into a few small ping pong size of ball.
Dust the table/board with flour.
Use the roller to spread the little dough into thin, flat piece of roti.
Dust the roti surface with flour to prevent it sticks with other pieces.
On a medium-high heat pan, heat the roti until it changes colour and turn to other side.
Spread the roti with butter to give it a little flavour and moisture.

Cintan Mee Recipe ( Stir Fry Noodles ) 炒金旦面

Cintan Mee - The Ding Dong Mee I love Cintan Mee so much, whether it is stir-fried with tomyam or soy sauce. I 'developed' this dish from an old kopitiam in my hometown which used to be famous of Cintan Mee. The shop was owned by an old couple but they closed the shop when I was in Year 5? Oh it was long time ago! Everyone miss their cintan mee. Thank god for gifted me such a good tongue and I made it!!! The taste is similar but the method of preparing is differ from the old couple. Also, I skip some ingredients to make it easy and simple. My sister loves it because she misses it so much as she was away from home for so many years. I remembered when I was in primary school and she came back from oversea, she will ask me to take away for her and she wanted it dry ( less sauce compare to the wet one). I could see she enjoys this dish so much whenever I cooked. Sadly I don't have any photo of how was the noodles looked. I really miss it. So why I ...

Angled Luffa with Egg Recipe 丝瓜炒蛋

Angled Luffa with Egg A simple healthy meal with fibre and protein. The sauce/soup is very clear, light and a little bit of sweetness from the luffa. Luffa is soft to bite and a ll the essence is concentrated in the soup. It i s very suitable to serve in summertime. I love this so much. I can have rice to go with only this. I will have my rice covered with luffa with plenty of sauce. Okay, maybe I can call it soup because I drink the sauce like soup. I heard from my friend, his mom cooks this as soup which means they put more water. Feel safe to drink the sauce as it is not salty like other stir fry vegetable with thicken sauce. That's why I said the sauce texture is more like soup. I should put another half cup of water, a bit dry. Not enough soup for me! Story of luffa: My mom told me when she was a kid and my grandparents were very poor, they used dry luffa as a scrubbing sponge in the kitchen to wash the dishes . Interesting right? Luffa is a ve...

Stir Fry Clams Recipe with Fermented Soy Beans - lala 蛤蜊炒豆酱

Lala, one of my favourite mom's home-cook food. I hardly order this when I eat out in a restaurant because I am fussy about the taste and the freshness. M om's one is the BEST in quality and definitely the freshness. Whenever I go back to home town, Yan Kecil in Kedah; I always look for seafood to eat especially clam and crabs! I will hunt for them when I cycled around in the fish village . Otherwise I will ask my mom whether she can get it from the fishmonger in the market . Initially I was looking for the harder, longer shape's clams but only this small type of clam so called 'lala' was available in the market during the Hari Raya day. It was only sold for RM3/kilo in the marke t and more than enough to feed us for lunch and dinner. Seafood is so much cheaper to eat and fresh in home town. The flesh is really small. So you have to be patient , take the flesh out one by one. Therefore some people don't like to eat them but I e...
