Lentil dal and pancake (Roti canai) from The World of Street Food: Easy Quick Meals to Cook at Home by Troth Wells

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Roti dough needs to rest 8 hours before completing recipe. Can substitute yellow split peas for red lentils.

    Took quite a while for it to cook at a simmer- from beginning of prep, it was about two hours before it hit the table. I, like pennyvr, made just the dal and found it bland (serving it as "Bunny Chow" as p25 suggests) and did not make the accompanying roti.

    I find the dal a little bland, though it would probably work to accompany a hotter curry. Haven't tried the roti.
