Ingredients

• 100 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 50 grams Rice flour
• 20 grams Tapioca starch
• 200 ml Coconut milk
• 150 ml Water
• 1 whole Egg
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 for greasing pan Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, rice flour, and tapioca starch.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, water, egg, vegetable oil, salt, and turmeric powder until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth, lump-free batter is formed. The consistency should be similar to that of crepe batter. If too thick, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Strain the batter through a fine mesh sieve into another bowl to remove any remaining lumps.

Step 5

Prepare a roti jala mold or a small funnel with three to four holes. Alternatively, you can use a squeezable plastic bottle if a mold is not available.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 7

Hold the roti jala mold or plastic bottle above the pan, and pour in some batter. Quickly move your hand in circular motions to create a lacy pattern on the pan.

Step 8

Cook the roti jala for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift off the pan, and the surface is firm to the touch.

Step 9

Fold the roti jala into quarters or roll into desired shape and remove from the pan. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan between each roti.

Step 10

Serve warm as an accompaniment to curries or any preferred dish.
