Roti jala (net bread) look like netted crepes made of flour, eggs, coconut cream and a little salt. This crepe which goes very well with curries is not commonly found in Singapore. It is a great substitute for rice and it does not feel heavy for a meal.

We used a plastic gadget, which is a contraption that looks like a cup with five holey spikes where we used to swirl around the pan to make the netted/ lacey pattern. This version, which is also our first try making this crepe had a QQ (springy) feel to it which we liked.
