About Roti canai

Roti Canai is a popular flatbread from Malaysian cuisine, often enjoyed as a breakfast dish or snack. Made from a simple dough of wheat flour, water, sugar, salt, and ghee or vegetable oil, it is folded repeatedly to create thin, flaky layers before being pan-fried to a golden crisp. Traditionally paired with curry or dhal for dipping, Roti Canai delights with its rich, buttery flavor and soft texture. While it is a satisfying treat, Roti Canai is high in calories due to its fat content, which comes from the ghee or oil used in the preparation. It provides carbohydrates from the flour, giving quick energy, but lacks significant proteins, fiber, or micronutrients. When enjoyed in moderation, Roti Canai can be part of a balanced diet, though pairing it with nutrient-rich accompaniments like lentil-based sauces can help enhance its overall nutritional profile.
