Ingredients

Method

500 g. All-purpose Flour
5 g. Salt
250 ml. Water
30 ml. Ghee
Additional Ghee for Cooking
Dal Or Curry for Serving

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the water and ghee, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into balls and let them rest for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Flatten each ball of dough into a thin round using your hands. Heat some ghee in a pan over medium heat.

Cook each round of dough until it's golden brown on both sides, adding more ghee as needed.

Serve the roti canai with dal or curry.
