Roti jala with curry

Malaysia · Southeast Asia

Short description: These lacy crepes are soft and delicate, made to soak up curry rather than stand alone.
Ingredients: Wheat flour, eggs, coconut milk or milk, water, turmeric, salt, oil, and chicken or vegetable curry.
Cultural note: They are associated with tea-time spreads, open-house meals, and catered gatherings where the rolled net pattern makes curry easy to scoop.
Common misconception: It is not a crisp lace snack; the crepes are usually soft, folded, and eaten with sauce.
