Penang Roti Canai

Roti Canai is a popular flatbread sold by Indian Muslim vendors in Penang. Also called rota prata in Singapore, the roti canai makes for a common breakfast food. The name, thought to be Malay, is actually of Indian origin, as the word "roti" derives for most Indian languages denoting the various types of flatbread found in India. Roti Canai, however, is a local derivation of Indian flatbread.

To make roti canai, wheat flour is kneaded into a dough with generous amounts of ghee. It is flattened and tossed to spread it out. The dough is then folded over repeated. Coated with oil, it is then cooked in a flat iron pan or skillet. The cooked roti is crispy, with minor touches of burnt, golden-brown flakes.

In addition to the plain roti canai, also called roti kosong, one may order it with eggs, and other toppings including sardine, margerine, onions, and so on.
