ROTI CANAI/PARATHA (INDIAN PANCAKE)
Breakfast, lunch, tea time, and dinner - this popular Indian pancake is available for a meal or snack. As kids we ate it sprinkled with sugar. It's typically served with curry and sambal if you choose to spice it up.

Steps:
- Mix warm water, salt, and sugar together in a bowl. Put flour in a large mixing bowl; work in 3 1/2 tablespoons ghee using your fingertips.
- Beat egg and 1 teaspoon water together in a bowl; add to flour mixture. Gradually mix warm water mixture into flour mixture while kneading until dough becomes soft and pliable. Form dough into balls and let rest in a well-oiled bowl, 2 to 3 hours.
- Working on a flat greased surface, take a dough ball and flatten it using the heel of your palm to make a paper-thin circle. Spread 1 teaspoon ghee inside it. Fold the edges together to make roti into a square. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Heat about 1 tablespoon ghee on griddle or in a skillet over medium heat; cook roti until browned, 1 to 3 minutes per side.

[email protected]I've made this recipe multiple times and it's always a hit. My family loves it. I've found that using a heavy-bottomed skillet helps to get the perfect crispy texture. Also, be sure to not overcrowd the pan when cooking the roti canai.

[email protected]I've tried many roti canai recipes before but this one is by far the best. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I especially love the crispy edges. I'd give this recipe a solid 10/10.

[email protected]Not a fan. The roti canai was too oily for my taste.

[email protected]I didn't have ghee on hand so I used butter instead. I also added a bit of chopped cilantro to the dough. The roti canai turned out beautifully and tasted delicious. Definitely a keeper recipe!

[email protected]I've made this recipe several times now and it always turns out great. My secret tip is to let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This helps to develop the flavor and makes the roti canai extra soft and fluffy.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster! The dough was too wet and impossible to work with. I ended up throwing it all away. Maybe I'll try a different roti canai recipe next time.
