🥞 Roti Canai Recipe

Make soft, flaky, and delicious Malaysian Roti Canai at home with simple ingredients. Perfect for breakfast or curry dipping. Easy, authentic, and foolproof!

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 tbsp oil (for soaking the dough balls)

Instructions

1. Make the Dough

  1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. Add ghee and warm water gradually.
  3. Knead until smooth and soft (8–10 minutes).
  4. Shape into small balls, coat with oil, and rest for 3–4 hours (or overnight for best results).

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

  1. Heat a tawa or non-stick pan on medium heat.
  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.

2. Why is my roti not flaky?

Not enough resting time or improper stretching.

3. Can I freeze roti canai?

Yes — half-cook them, cool, freeze, and reheat when needed.
