Roti Prata
HELLO! SINGAPORE TOURS GUIDE TO THE BEST SINGAPORE LOCAL FOOD
Roti prata is a flaky South Indian flatbread, that is crispy on the outside but soft to the bite—best eaten plain or with an egg cracked onto it. It is often served with a savoury, spicy curry (fish and mutton are popular options). Some locals also eat it with sugar, or sweet toppings such as banana, chocolate sauce or ice cream. Different stall owners produce roti pratas with different textures, but the technique is always the same: a skillful twirl of the dough till it is paper-thin before folding it in and cooking it on a greased griddle. Modern renditions of roti prata sees it served with ice cream or chicken floss. From S$1 per serving.
