Kuih Jala

(Pic from Goggle Search Engine)

This is one of the Iban's famous kuih.
We called it as Roti Jala.


I forgot to write down the ingredients, so i had to goggled up. The ingredients should be something like this:

1kg all-purpose flour
2 eggs
a can of evaporated milk
1 tbsp margarine
1 tsp egg yellow colouring
1 tsp salt 1 litre water oil (to grease pan)

Tools:
-Acuan (Made from a Round can with many tiny holes at the bottom)
-a wooden stick (to 'ketuk-ketuk' the Acuan)
-Wooden Spatula
.:. all these tools are made by grandpa in less than 10 minutes since grandma cant remember where she store the original acuan)

Fill in the Acuan.


'Ketuk-ketuk' the acuan a bit, so it will flow smoothly.


'ketuk-ketuk' process continues to the cooking pan.


Make a round motion, starting from the outer circle, slowly into the center.


After 1-2 rounds, make sure the layer is not too thin (or else it wont be in shape) or too thick.


Slowly lift it up from onside.

And fold it into two.


Press gently at the end of the fold.


This is always the tricky part.
(No need to toss to the other side)


Wait till it turns into golden yellow colour.


Lift it up by poking a thin metal rod.


Drain the remaining oil.


Done!

Since our family is a mixture of Iban and Chinese races, we always made this famous roti jala as one of our 'must have' kuih for Chinese New Year.
