About the dish

Roti bom is a traditional variety of roti flatbread originating from Malaysia. It’s usually made with a combination of flour, eggs, salt, sugar, margarine, and condensed milk. This sweet and savory flatbread is much smaller and thicker than its cousin roti canai. Due to the fact that margarine and sugar are layered into the dough, the flavors will be sweet and salty. This folded, round, layered roti is cooked in a pan on high heat with a bit of oil until both sides are golden brown.
