'''Roti Jala''' is a traditional [[Malaysian cuisine|Malaysian]] dish, often served as an accompaniment to curries or eaten as a snack. Its name translates to "net bread", referring to the net-like pattern created by its unique method of preparation.

== History ==
The origins of Roti Jala can be traced back to the [[Malay people|Malay]] community in Malaysia. It is believed to have been influenced by the Indian roti, which was brought to Malaysia by Indian traders and immigrants. Over time, the recipe was adapted to suit local tastes and ingredients, resulting in the creation of Roti Jala.

== Preparation ==
Roti Jala is made from a batter consisting of [[wheat flour]], [[eggs]], [[coconut milk]], [[turmeric]] for colour, and a pinch of [[salt]]. The batter is poured through a special mould with five holes into a hot pan, creating a lace-like pattern. The cooked Roti Jala is then folded or rolled before serving.

== Serving ==
Roti Jala is typically served with [[curry]] dishes, such as chicken or mutton curry. The net-like structure of the bread allows it to soak up the curry, making it a delicious and popular choice for meals. It can also be served with sweet dips like [[condensed milk]] or [[coconut jam]] for a dessert or snack.

== Cultural Significance ==
Roti Jala holds a significant place in Malaysian culture. It is often prepared for special occasions and celebrations, such as weddings and traditional Malay festivals like [[Hari Raya Aidilfitri]].
