Absolutely love this! Question: has anyone tried to freeze the dough? It would save a lot of time and make it easier as then you can make the dough in large portions.

When we were in Malaysia I had Roti John & Roti Bom how funny. They look different as well. A true Malay feast with Randang Malay cakes/jellies. Indian sweets all the wonderful breads. You cant go wrong although watch out for the chillie. The salads are beauitful . Malay cooking with coconut milk is my favorite.

When I lived in Malaysia, they served Roti Canai with a chicken curry sauce. Do you have recipe for the type of curry served with this?

If you have any Indian shops nearby, check the freezer for “Kawan” frozen roti paratha. As close to the real thing as you’ll find anywhere in the US. While you’re there, grab a boil-in-bag packet of dal or curry and you’re all set. Simple, fast, delicious. Couldn’t live w/o it!

(Kawan is made in Shah Alam, Selangor)

Thanks so much for posting this! I’m crazy about this “bread”! It’s almost like eating layers of bread heaven!

The video really helps to understand how the dough is stretched and twisted and flipped! Very informative!

Roti is so delicious. I’m planning a trip to India in march next year. I had a local roti man in sydney who made them deliciously fresh. I remember his charming indian accent pronouncing that he was selling “Rorti” and pakoda. This guy has a indian father and Malay mother from what i understood. We have a exclusive indian restaurant here with a tandoor oven.

But time to get hands dirty and probably make Mahatma Ghandi turn in his grave after seeing my first attempt. haha

I used to get this at Penang in Soho, but they closed a few years ago. I’ve been craving this ever since!

Thanks for posting the recipe! I recently went to Kerala where they had such a myriad of breads (including paratha) which was delicious… there’s nothing quite like a Roti Canai at a street corner hawker at 4am in the morning after a night of partying :)
