Crispy Roti Canai with Coconut Curry Dip

Step 1

Mix flour and salt in a bowl, then add 0.5 cup water and 1 tbsp butter. Knead for 2 minutes until a soft dough forms.

Step 2

Divide dough into 4 balls, then oil and rest them for 5 minutes while you start the curry.

Step 3

In a small skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat, then add chopped onion and cook until soft, ~2 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in curry powder for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add coconut milk and lemon juice. Simmer gently while you fry the roti.

Step 5

Roll out one dough ball thin on an oiled surface, then fold it like an accordion into thirds. Shape into a spiral.

Step 6

Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then pan-fry the roti spiral for 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

Step 7

Repeat with remaining dough balls. Serve warm roti torn into pieces alongside the warm curry dip.
