Sometimes the “food wishes” I get take years, or even a decade, before they make an appearance on the channel. Other times, as was the case with this amazing Malaysian Flatbread (Roti Canai), they are granted almost instantaneously. Enjoy!

Well done Chef John. It's notoriously hard to make roti canai at home because of all the space needed to flip/toss the dough, but you did great under the circumstances. Barely a hole in the dough too. 11/10 from a Malaysian.

Good job Chef John! My only tip is to not be afraid to really (I mean REALLY) smash the roti canai after its cooked. I find it really makes a difference in the texture. It should look like a cloud (fluffy) after being smashed. So don't be shy, and just let out all your frustration and anger on the roti canai :)

Being a viewer since 2007 learning how to make crepes, I’m very happy to see one of our local dishes featured here. You have the approval of Malaysians alike. The crunch is spot on, the fluffing was correct and even the gravy is really good. You can also just douse it with condensed milk if you wanted a sweet version. A very good pass. I’d say all you need now is a glass of teh tarik.

The recipe makes a ton of the lentil "dip" and it's actually a great curry base for a fast meal! I seared some chicken cubes with ginger and garlic, threw in a bunch of green beans, then when they were half done, added the lentil curry and simmered it for 10 minutes. Served over rice - quite satisfying. Thanks!

@vhawk1951kl 2 года назад

@MrSmileyFella2 2 года назад

As a roti canai fan myself, that was legit! The only thing was, when we smoosh the cooked roti canai at the end, we slap it with more force till the palms of our hand just meet to get finer cracks, maybe twice or thrice. Its a quick process. The square shape you went for might be a bit more awkward to do so though. But fun fact, variations of the roti canai such as roti susu (a milky version) or roti milo (with Milo in it) does often use the square shape! Overall loved the vid!

@salehinkibria8377 2 года назад

the humble roti canai served with daal and some curry. i used to order a telur mata with it. wash it all down with a teh tarik. either this or nasi lemak with fried peanuts-anchovies mixture and a sweet spicy sambal sotong was my given choice of breakfast back in my days in malaysia. miss those early morning/late night meals

it's obviously a form of paratha and thus of Indian origin; apparently it is the water in the butter turning to steam that makes the layers or flakiness, as in croissants, which is why it needs butter rather than oil. I wonder if it works with wholemeal flour , but probably not; I'll have to try it and see.

As always, Chef John, you have made a whole meal look easy to make and even easier to get the details right. Thank you! I'm going to make the flat bread. I was thinking that the water could be changed to milk for a more traditional taste. (Since the original recipe uses condensed milk) Before I do that, I will make it the way you show in the video because "water" seems to be the most commonly used liquid. It appears to be from India originally. As a quick, vegetarian type flat bread used with lentils or dal, the water seems consistent with the overall intent of the food.
