Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp ghee or oil
  • 1 cup warm water (adjust as needed)

2. Stretch the Dough

  1. Oil your countertop.
  2. Flatten a dough ball and gently stretch until very thin and almost transparent.
  3. Fold the edges into a square or roll it like a rope and coil into a circle.

3. Cook the Roti Canai

  2. Cook each roti until golden spots appear on both sides.
  3. Remove and clap the roti between your hands to make it flaky.

⭐ Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with Malaysian curry, dal, chicken rendang, or enjoy it plain with sugar.

📌 Tips for Perfect Flaky Roti Canai

  • Rest the dough for at least 3 hours to make stretching easier.
  • Use oil generously while stretching to prevent tearing.
  • Clap the roti after cooking to create layers.

❓ FAQs

1. Can I use ghee instead of oil?

Yes, ghee adds a richer flavor.

Not enough resting time or improper stretching.
