Whether you're seeking an allergy-friendly alternative or simply exploring Southeast Asian cuisine, Dairy-Free Roti Jala is sure to impress in both flavor and presentation.
In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and turmeric powder together. This will prevent lumps and ensure the turmeric is evenly distributed.
In another bowl, whisk the coconut milk, water, egg, vegetable oil, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. If necessary, run the batter through a sieve to remove any remaining lumps.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Fill a squeeze bottle or a roti jala mold with the batter. If using a squeeze bottle, cut a small opening in the tip to achieve thin lines.
Once the pan is hot, squeeze or drizzle the batter in a circular motion to create a lace-like pattern, starting from the center and moving outwards.
Cook the roti jala until the edges begin to lift and the surface appears dry, about 1-2 minutes.
Gently lift the crepe from the pan with a spatula and fold it into a quarter or roll it up. Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan as needed.
Serve the Dairy-Free Roti Jala warm with your favorite curry or stew for a deliciously fragrant meal.
