Roti Jala

Roti Jala, a Malaysian favorite dish, gets its name from the net-like formation that was created by making zigzagging lines with flour on a large skillet. It is folded up like a crepe and usually served with chicken curry.

This is a very traditional Malaysian dish that is usually homemade and served at kenduris (events) such as weddings and festivals. It is particularly favored during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan and usually found at nearly every Ramadan bazaar in Penang and often sold with either chicken or mutton curry. It is usually eaten in sets of three to four pieces with curries, especially chicken curry, as a substitute to rice.
