Roti Canai

Malaysian cuisine has influences from China, India, Indonesia and Europe, making it one of the most varied cuisines that we have come across. My favourite dish that we discovered is Roti Canai, which is traditionally eaten for breakfast or as a snack.

It consists of a round Indian flat bread, less dense than naan and fluffier than chapati, served alongside a small portion of curry or more frequently sambal. The bread is made by spinning dough into a thin sheet, and then folding it over in itself before lightly frying it. This method gives lots of little pockets of air to the bread, making it light and fluffy. You eat it by tearing bits off and dipping it into the sambal. It's a perfect size meal for breakfast, and completely delicious.
