Roti Canai, a signature dish from Malaysian cuisine, is a versatile flatbread known for its flaky, layered texture and rich taste. Made primarily from flour, water, ghee (clarified butter), and sometimes condensed milk, the dough undergoes a unique rolling and folding technique before being pan-fried until golden brown. Roti Canai is often served with a side of curry or dhal for dipping, adding protein and spices to the ensemble. Though irresistibly flavorful, Roti Canai is high in calories and saturated fats due to its ghee content, making it a less nutritious option when eaten in large quantities. On the positive side, it provides energy-packed carbohydrates and pairs well with nutrient-rich accompaniments like lentil-based dhal or vegetable curry. This combination can balance the meal and offer a satisfying cultural experience. Moderation and mindful pairing are key to enjoying this popular Malaysian staple healthily.
