Roti Jala

Batter Ingredients

Maida - 1 cup

Egg - 1

Coconut milk - 1 cup

Salt to taste

Water as needed

Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

( But today i have given a twist by grinding a handful of mint and coriander leaves along with the coconut milk and filtered to make a green Roti Jala. I used 1/2 cup wheat flour and 1/2 cup maida and did not add turmeric powder If you are making it plain Roti jala then just add the above mentioned ingredients )

Jala Roti

Method

Take a bowl add the flour ,egg , salt and pour the green coconut milk and whisk until the batter is smooth and silky. Add water as needed to get a pancake consistency. Filter the batter to remove any lumps. You can also use a blender to mix the batter.

Take a plastic bottle make holes on the cap fill the batter into the bottle and close the cap. If you have a bottle with a nozzle even that will work.

Non stick pan works great for this recipe, heat a pan and squeeze the bottle to make a net like patter ( see picture). Wait till they are cooked do not flip , slowly fold them and remove from the tawa.

Repeat till all the batter is over. Serve with any gravy , today i rolled them with stir fried shrimp and enjoyed!
