Roti Nangka

When I lived in Malaysia I got totally addicted to Roti, plain ones, Roti Telur (egg), Roti Pisang (banana) and this Roti Nangka (jackfruit). I eat them almost every day where I pair the savoury ones with Fried Chicken or just a simple sambal and for the sweet ones I have them for desserts.

When I lived in Malaysia I got totally addicted to Roti, plain ones, Roti Telur (egg), Roti Pisang (banana) and this Roti Nangka (jackfruit). I eat them almost every day where I pair the savoury ones with Fried Chicken or just a simple sambal and for the sweet ones I have them for desserts. For me I quite consume it differently like I mentioned above as they usually eat this with curries basically replacing the rice, where they use the bread to scoop out those rich spicy sauces out of their plates.

So what makes this bread so addictive? Well it’s the chewy flaky layers of oil drenched dough freshly prepared as you order. It’s also inexpensive if I can remember its less than RM 2.00 for one but now I am here in New Zealand its quite different as there are few Malaysian restaurants and not all of them can copy the same texture that I always had in the Mamak in front of where I used to work. This means I have to learn this and cook it at home, I found a lot of guides online looks like the good ones needed some air flipping action like how it’s made in Malaysia until I found an easy method that gives nearly the same result.
