Stretching the Ringgit – RM1 Al Safa Curry Fish Gravy and Home Made Roti Bom (Prata)

Rm1 per packet of Curry fish gravy with two ladies fingers!

'Flooding' the rice with curry fish gravy, long beans and hard boil egg!

My kids love to flood their rice with the spicy Mamak (Indian Muslim) curry fish gravy. I bought a packet of curry fish gravy only with 2 ladies fingers as additional dish for dinner from Al Safa Bandar Sri Damansara . It only cost me RM1 (USD0.30) for this packet of curry gravy which is about the volume of a rice bowl. I did not buy the fish because I already have steamed pomfret fish (bawal, tau teh) at home. Then I used my rice cooker to make 2 hard boil eggs. The Mamak fish curry gravy taste good with hard boil egg

Anyway after finishing our dinner, there was still some curry left, so I thought that it would be a good idea to make some roti canai to go with it for supper. Unfortunately I used only two cups of flour but added much butter and one egg is over the required amount to make a good roti canai. So the texture of the dough turned out too soft for me to throw and flip it to make roti canai like what you use to see at Mamak stalls. Therefore, I rolled them up to make roti bom or some might call it roti prata. After frying it using my non-stick pan, I found that it has the aroma and taste of roti bom or roti planta but the texture is flaky rather than springy like roti canai. Apart from the flawed texture, it actually tasted very good because the amount of butter and eggs used! LOL!

PS : Would you try the roti canai made by a Chinese if you come across such stall?

Making the dough and dividing it to golf ball sizes. Roti chanai turned out to be roti bom instead. The final product with fish curry gravy! Copyright Material of Peteformation Foodie Adventure
