Roti Canai is characterized by its flaky, buttery texture and savory flavor, complemented by a variety of curry dips.
The buttery flavor comes from ghee or oil used during the stretching and cooking process. The texture is achieved through repeated folding and stretching of the dough, creating thin layers that crisp up upon cooking. The curry, which varies from lentil-based dhal to chicken or fish curry, provides a rich, spicy, and savory counterpoint to the buttery bread.

Dough Kneading
Kneading the dough well is crucial for developing gluten, leading to a stretchy and pliable dough that can be stretched thinly without tearing.
Stretching Technique
Mastering the stretching technique is essential for creating thin layers, which contribute to the flakiness of the Roti Canai. This takes practice.
Temperature Control
Cooking Roti Canai on a hot griddle is important to ensure it cooks quickly and evenly, resulting in a crispy exterior and a soft interior.
Curry Choice
Experiment with different types of curry (dhal, chicken, fish) to find your preferred flavor pairing. Each curry offers a different taste profile, enhancing the overall experience.
