Description

Jalar roti or roti jalar as known to the world but at home its known as jalar parota . This dish is an authentic dish very own to the Muslims of Malaysia . At mom’s place we don’t know head or tail about this dish . I got to know about this dish first when I was newly married at my in – laws place . The best part is this dish is not an authentic dish at my in – laws place also . They got to know about this dish from a place called NAGOOR ( a pilgrimage place ) near vellankanni in Tamil Nadu . The cone used to pour out the jalar roti is also available in NAGOOR or at Malaysia . This lacy crape poured out like a net pattern is eaten along with any non – veg curry or gravy . Made with easily available ingredients at home , its a fast , clever , easy time saving dish when you have sudden guests at home . This 5 ingredient wonder  is a favourite at home . Every time I make it , I feel the batter is a lot but finally it’s always not enough at the table . there are 2 more recipes that we make at home with the jalar parota being the main ingredient . I will be posting them soon . First we shall start with our mighty simple jalar parota .

  3. Cook until set and crisp on one side . Fold into a triangle and serve hot with any non – vegetarian curry .
  4. I just mix flour with salt to taste and water , at times which works perfect as well .
