Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 250 ml low-fat milk
- 100 ml water
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour to remove any lumps for a smoother batter.
Add the low-fat milk and water to the flour, whisking continuously until no lumps remain.
Beat the egg and add it to the flour mixture. Stir in the turmeric powder and salt, and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and has a thin, pourable consistency.
Strain the batter using a fine mesh sieve into another bowl to ensure it is lump-free.
Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or a bottle with a narrow nozzle for easy control when creating the net design. Alternatively, you can use a roti jala mold.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray, ensuring it's evenly covered.
Using the squeeze bottle or mold, create a net pattern by swiftly moving the bottle over the pan in a circular motion.
Cook the roti jala for about 1-2 minutes, until it turns a light golden color and the bottom is set. No need to flip.
Carefully fold the cooked roti jala into quarters while still in the pan or as you move it to a plate.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring to spray a mist of non-stick cooking spray before each new batch.
Serve the roti jala warm, ideally with your favorite curry or dhal.
