Who this list is for
This list is for home cooks planning to make a Malaysian roti jala chicken curry meal for six people. If you want to serve net-shaped savory pancakes with a mild, aromatic chicken curry, this is your shopping and prep guide. It's best for those who enjoy Southeast Asian flavors and want to try something beyond sweet crepes or standard curries.
How to use this list
Start by checking your pantry and fridge for items like all-purpose flour, eggs, coconut milk, and neutral cooking oil. For the curry, you'll need boneless skinless chicken thighs, coconut milk, chicken broth, Malaysian curry powder, a large yellow onion, garlic, fresh ginger, Yukon Gold potatoes, and curry leaves. For the roti jala batter, gather flour, eggs, coconut milk (separate from the cans for the curry), water, ground turmeric, and more oil. Shop for any missing ingredients, then prep the curry first so the flavors develop while you make the pancakes.
Common mistakes
People often use sweet crepe batter or skip curry leaves, which changes the flavor profile. Using bone-in chicken or substituting curry powder with generic blends can also affect the dish. Don’t forget the extra coconut milk for the batter—using only water makes the pancakes less tender. Avoid rushing the curry; it needs time to simmer for the flavors to meld.
What is on this list
You’ll need boneless skinless chicken thighs, coconut milk (two cans for curry, one cup for batter), chicken broth, Malaysian curry powder, a large yellow onion, garlic cloves, fresh ginger, Yukon Gold potatoes, curry leaves, all-purpose flour, eggs, water, ground turmeric, and neutral cooking oil. Cross off what you already own before shopping to avoid duplicates.
Before you go
Double-check your spice cabinet for curry powder and turmeric, and make sure your potatoes and onions are fresh. If you don’t have a roti jala mold, a squeeze bottle with a narrow tip will work. Plan to start the curry early, as it benefits from a longer simmer while you prepare the pancakes. Clean up as you go, and keep the pancakes covered so they stay soft until serving.
