Roti Canai - A Malaysian Favorite Food

Roti canai is a favorite breakfast dish in Malaysia. It was said that the food was brought over from India by the Indian Muslims, also known as "Mamaks" in Malaysia. It is ubiquitously available in Mamak stall day and night in almost every urban area in Malaysia, and is among the popular Malaysian Indian cuisine. Despite its Indian-influenced origin, it was said that it is easier to find roti canai in Malaysia rather than in India.

Roti canai or roti cane is a type of Indian-influenced flatbread found in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. It is often sold in Mamak stalls in Malaysia; also in Malay, Minangkabau and Aceh restaurants in Indonesia. It is known as roti prata in Southern Malaysia and Singapore, and is similar to the Indian Kerala porotta. It is also found throughout Thailand, where it is called "Ro Tee" and is typically sold by Muslims, most often with street carts, and is usually Halal.

In English and in Chinese, roti canai is sometimes referred to as "flying bread" (飞饼 fēibǐng), a term that evokes the process of tossing and spinning by which it is made. In Chinese, Roti canai is originally called 印度煎饼 "yìn dù jiān bǐng", which means Indian pancake.

Traditionally roti canai is served with dhal (lentil curry) or any type of curry, such as mutton or chicken curry. However, the versatility of roti canai as the staple lends itself to many variations, either savoury or sweet, with a variety of toppings and fillings, which includes eggs, banana, sardines and onion. In Thailand, it is usually served sweet - typical fillings include condensed milk, peanut butter, jam and nutella, without the curry.

How do you explain this delicious food to someone who has never had it? It looks so simple. I'd say, "It will change your life, forever"!
This chef is good. Where exactly is this place (name) and why aren't you helping promote his business, man?

2-2-22.Every video on Roti canai made in Malaysia is incomplete since all show dough stretching, frying, filling, or plain. No one made a video from the beginning. That is a roti canai master or someone in the shop making the dough, step by step. There are many housewives who make the dough for many reasons you don't take it seriously. Film an eatery owner making dough, making balls, and more

Historically and originally from India (Chennai Parotha) unfortunately it is bastardised and claimed ownership by some shameless communities with their own feacel versions.
