Awesome awesome space you have here. Its so nice to see Indian food featured in your blog. Roti canai is called lachcha paratha in India. Its matter of practise before you perfect it. You have done a great job for a person making it for the first time. :)Sailuhttp://www.sailusfood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-23929869672885465282013-04-14T03:41:01.321-04:002013-04-14T03:41:01.321-04:00izin share :)izin share :)Fildzah Zatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02588031383461887654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-83538857290212872502012-11-28T01:09:17.649-05:002012-11-28T01:09:17.649-05:00Hi again!

Just to update you, I forgot to mentioned that I halved your recipe, but since I didn't know how to use half an egg, I used an egg still.<br /><br />I guessed, I wasn't sure if I could add flour while kneading, so I didn't eventhough the dough was way too soft. Real noob of me!<br /><br />Anyhow, long story short, I redid the dough by adding more flour and re-kneading it. It didn't come out that smooth, but still more manageable than before. In the end, my roti came out okay, just not so soft as like mamak shops, or yours, I guessed. But I'm happy, still can eat... at least I now know what went wrong...haha..<br /><br />Thanks once again! :)<br />jsbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878103899553584701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-44065006679736999952012-11-17T21:06:02.939-05:002012-11-17T21:06:02.939-05:00Hi Jsb, I am not too sure why you dough is so soft...Hi Jsb, I am not too sure why you dough is so soft if you follow the recipe. The recipe is from Mamafami and I follow it to the T and it came out great. I just used the regular AP flour. You need to knead the dough for some time to form the gluten. If the dough is too soft you can add some flour at this stage. <br /><br />Not sure what you meant by step 1. Step 1 of the pix or step one of the instructions. If you are doing step one of the pix, you can add anymore flour to it. You will not get the dough to be smooth again. My only advice will be to throw out this batch of dough and start all over again. I am sorry that it didn't work for you. Well let me know the outcome if you try this again.

Hope you can help me.
Was trying out this roti...Hi!<br />Hope you can help me.<br />Was trying out this roti recipe but mine failed. When I wanted to form the dough into balls, it was just too soft to shape it, not to mention the dough was sticking all over my hand.<br />I tried to make 3 small balls before giving up. It just won't stay firm, like yours in the picture. 'melayot'... :( so hard to rub the margarine all over!!<br />Can I ask:<br />1: what kind of flour did you used? I used all purpose flour. Was that correct? If not, what kind of flour should I use?<br />2: I am trying salvage the dough. I added more flour to balance dough to firm it up. I think mine was too soft, is it? Anyhow after that, I added the 3 small balls into the dough, to re-do step #1. Mix and mix but couldn't get the soft and smooth texture again (which I got in the first attempt). I'm letting thr dough rest now, hoping that somehow it will be soft and smooth after resting. Do you have any advice for me?<br /><br />Desperately need help, thanks!!!jsbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878103899553584701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-75502856101771941792012-08-07T23:13:37.851-04:002012-08-07T23:13:37.851-04:00Aisha, just put in the filling after step 4, fold ...Aisha, just put in the filling after step 4, fold the dough up and pan fried it.ICook4Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405825862798280769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-27694473150618808832012-08-06T12:43:55.143-04:002012-08-06T12:43:55.143-04:00hi i am very fond of your blog,tried many recipe.I...hi i am very fond of your blog,tried many recipe.I want to ask if i want to fill something in it at which step i do that?,and what kind of filling.aishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680876814424029993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-14089539953669009042012-03-31T00:11:51.246-04:002012-03-31T00:11:51.246-04:00Jessie, yea once you mess up, you can't start ...Jessie, yea once you mess up, you can't start all over again.
