Roti Canai is a popular Malaysian style fried bread similar to our Kerala style Parotta. Flour, eggs, milk and loads of fat mainly ghee or margarine is used to give a flaky texture. The process is similar to our Parotta but with extra ingredients which alters the taste and texture. Another popular version from Singapore is called Roti Prata, similar ingredients and process except for the folding. Roti refers to bread in Malay.
Mixed greens sauteid with chicken and cooked in simmering coconut milk. Stew is a thin gravy thicker than soup and thiner than sauce made with combination of veggies and stock. Here is an interesting combo of Spinach, Chard and chicken simmered in mild sweet coconut milk. Best when served with flakky parottas, plain bread, parathas etc and not a bad idea to try with plain rice too.

My latest farmers market pick was eye catching fresh purple roma beans. These sweet, mild and creamy texture beans are native to Italy and taste similar to our val or mochai. They are also called by the following names, Purple Roma Beans, Cranberry Beans and Borlotti Beans. Available fresh as well as in dried form. Dry beans needs to be soaked overnight. Fresh shelled beans are used here for sambhar and would be a great choice for people who love Mocahi / Val beans.
Can be served for an evening snack.
