Roti Canai Ingredients

Preparation

Preparation Directions

1. Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Gradually add water and condensed milk while mixing until a soft dough forms.

2. Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for at least 2 hours.

3. Divide and Shape

After resting, divide the dough into equal balls (about 8-10). Flatten each ball slightly and coat with ghee or butter. Let them rest for another 30 minutes.

4. Roll and Fold

Take a rested dough ball and flatten it with your hands. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a thin sheet. Fold it into a square or pleats and place it on a greased tray. Repeat with remaining dough balls.

5. Cook the Roti

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each roti for about 2-3 minutes on each side, adding ghee or butter as needed until golden brown and flaky.

6. Serve

Serve hot with your choice of curry sauce for dipping.
