Describing Roti Canai

Every place has one famous delicacy that attracts tourists from across the globe to the place, and for Malaysia, along with many others, is the popular flatbread called Roti Canai. For centuries, the flatbread has been the country's top breakfast meal choice. Roti Canai is such a bread that can not only be enjoyed at the breakfast table but can also be eaten at lunch or dinner.

However, while many have tasted the delicacy, not many know the exact origin of the Roti Canai. According to some, the Roti Canai was brought to Malaysia from India.

According to the Taste Atlas, "It is believed that the dish originated in India when the Indian laborers who migrated to Malaysia brought the recipe and the tradition of preparing this crispy pastry to the foreign country.''

The delicious flatbread is sold by street vendors known as "mamaks". The bread is prepared in such a way that the dough is kneaded with eggs, flour, and water. The dough is kneaded efficiently, and in such a manner that the final product carries flaky layers on the outside, but a tender texture from the inside. What makes the bread even more special is that it is prepared with Indian clarified butter, called ghee.
It seems that the delicious bread from Malaysia has habitually topped the list of the best breads. For instance, it was in February only that the bread ranked as the second-best street food across the globe in the TasteAtlas food rankings.
One may find a myriad of variations of the roti canai in many nearby south-Indian nations such as Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei, and Singapore.
