Roti jala

Roti Jala is a type of food from Malaysia that some people call Malaysians pancake, like you have pancakes in America. It is a thin, lace-like crepe made of flour, eggs, and coconut milk. Think of it like a big, flat and thin pancake.

To make it, you mix all of the ingredients together until it becomes a smooth batter. Then, you pour the batter through a special tool called a roti jala mould, which has five tiny holes. It's kind of like a watering can that makes pretty shapes.

You heat up a flat pan, like you do when you're making pancakes, and spread a little bit of oil on it. Then, you pour the batter from the roti jala mould in a circular motion onto the pan, making a pattern that looks like a spiderweb or a lace doily. You cook one side, then flip it over to cook the other side until it's lightly crispy and golden yellow.

Roti jala is usually served as a side dish with other Malay-style foods, like chicken curry, beef rendang or as a breakfast option. It's a tasty way to eat a special type of pancake with a fun design!
