Breakfast, lunch, tea time, and dinner - this popular Indian pancake is available for a meal or snack. As kids we ate it sprinkled with sugar. It's typically served with curry and sambal if you choose to spice it up.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch white sugar
4 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
3 ½ tablespoons clarified butter (ghee)
1 egg
1 teaspoon water
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter), divided

Steps:

  • Mix warm water, salt, and sugar together in a bowl. Put flour in a large mixing bowl; work in 3 1/2 tablespoons ghee using your fingertips.
  • Beat egg and 1 teaspoon water together in a bowl; add to flour mixture. Gradually mix warm water mixture into flour mixture while kneading until dough becomes soft and pliable. Form dough into balls and let rest in a well-oiled bowl, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Working on a flat greased surface, take a dough ball and flatten it using the heel of your palm to make a paper-thin circle. Spread 1 teaspoon ghee inside it. Fold the edges together to make roti into a square. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Heat about 1 tablespoon ghee on griddle or in a skillet over medium heat; cook roti until browned, 1 to 3 minutes per side.

I'm not sure what kind of flour to use for this recipe. Can I use all-purpose flour?

These pancakes are a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

These pancakes are a great way to use up leftover dough. I always have some leftover dough from making pizza or bread, and this is a great way to use it up.

I love the crispy texture of these pancakes. They're so much better than the roti canai I've had at restaurants.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my roti canai pancakes turned out flat and rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't come out right.

These roti canai pancakes are amazing! They're so versatile and can be served with a variety of toppings. I've tried them with curry, eggs, and even fruit. They're always delicious.

This roti canai recipe is a keeper! The pancakes turned out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just like I like them. My family loved them too!
