About Plain prata

Plain Prata, also known as roti canai in some regions, is a popular flatbread originating from South Indian cuisine but widely enjoyed across Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia and Singapore. Made with a simple dough of flour, water, salt, and ghee or oil, Plain Prata is a versatile dish often cooked on a griddle to achieve its characteristic golden-brown, crispy exterior and soft, flaky layers. While it is rich in carbohydrates, the use of ghee or oil adds saturated fats, making moderation key for those watching fat intake. Traditionally served with curries or dhal, it can also be paired with healthier options such as lentil-based dips or salads. Its minimally processed ingredients provide energy for an active lifestyle, but frequent consumption may not be ideal for weight management or heart health due to its high calorie and fat content.
