Instructions
- 1
Knead the flour, water, milk, egg, salt, sugar, and 2 spoonfuls of vegetable oil into an elastic dough.
- 2

2 hr120:00 - 3
Chop the cucumbers and heat the chicken curry for serving.
- 4
Stretch each dough ball on an oiled counter until thin like a membrane, then fold the edges inward into a square.
- 5
Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the roti for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until browned.
6 min06:00 - 6
Lightly clap the cooked roti between your palms to open the layers.
- 7
Serve roti canai hot with chicken curry and cucumber.
💡 Tip: Rest the dough balls in oil for at least 2 hours; short-rested dough pulls back while stretching and the roti layers turn firm.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve roti canai hot with chicken curry, cucumber, and optional ayran; dipping the bread into the sauce is the easiest way to eat it.
