About the dish

Roti sardin is a Malaysian flatbread dish, adapted from the Indian style of roti (translated as "bread", both in Hindustani and Malay languages). This variety is stuffed with canned sardines, sliced onions, chilies, and beaten eggs that hold everything together. Often times, it is eaten alongside ketchup, different kinds of curry or sambal (a south-east Asian type of hot sauce). The roti is pan-fried and served either as a breakfast dish or an all-day snack food.
