Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead until a smooth dough forms. Divide the dough into small balls, coat with ghee, and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. On a floured surface, flatten each ball of dough into a thin sheet. Fold the edges to the center, creating a square shape. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the roti canai until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  3. In a separate pan, heat ghee and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Add curry powder and cook for a minute. Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a simmer, and season with salt.
  4. Serve the roti canai with the curry sauce for dipping or drizzling.
