Ingredients

• 200 g all-purpose flour
• 250 ml low-fat milk
• 100 ml water
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour to remove any lumps for a smoother batter.

Step 2

Add the low-fat milk and water to the flour, whisking continuously until no lumps remain.

Step 3

Beat the egg and add it to the flour mixture. Stir in the turmeric powder and salt, and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and has a thin, pourable consistency.

Step 4

Strain the batter using a fine mesh sieve into another bowl to ensure it is lump-free.

Step 5

Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or a bottle with a narrow nozzle for easy control when creating the net design. Alternatively, you can use a roti jala mold.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray, ensuring it's evenly covered.

Step 7

Using the squeeze bottle or mold, create a net pattern by swiftly moving the bottle over the pan in a circular motion.

Step 8

Cook the roti jala for about 1-2 minutes, until it turns a light golden color and the bottom is set. No need to flip.

Step 9

Carefully fold the cooked roti jala into quarters while still in the pan or as you move it to a plate.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring to spray a mist of non-stick cooking spray before each new batch.

Step 11

Serve the roti jala warm, ideally with your favorite curry or dhal.
