Roti Jala ( Net Bread ) / Malaysian Net Crepes / Net Dosa/ Breakfast & Dinner Recipe

Roti Jala is the lesser known and more elusive cousin of the famed Roti Canai. In Malaysia, you are more likely to eat these net crepes at a social gathering than in a restaurant. It is especially popular during Hari Raya Aidil Fitri (Eid) and traditional kenduri (Malay feast) to mark auspicious events like weddings.

Tender and Delicate Net Crepes

When translated, Roti Jala literally means “net bread” because of its lacy or net-like appearance. Well made Roti Jala is tender and delicate. It should never be brown or crispy. They are usually served with Chicken Curry, Beef Rendang (caramelized beef curry), or (spicy beef floss).

To make these crepes, you need a special cup with five/ three nozzles. The batter is poured into the cup and moved in an overlapping circular motion to create the lacy effect.
 If you do not have this special cup, use a squeeze bottle. A Do-It-Yourself alternative is to use an empty Plastic bottle punctured with holes.

These tender and delicate Roti Jala (Malaysian Net Crepes) are a must try with chicken or beef curry. Easy to prepare using only a few ingredients.
