Experience a Singaporean breakfast classic elevated with the fragrant aroma of pandan! These vibrant green roti prata are flaky, buttery, and perfectly paired with a creamy homemade kaya dip. A delightful twist on a beloved favorite.
**Prepare the Dough:** In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add lukewarm water, condensed milk, pandan extract, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
**Knead the Dough:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky. Add a little more flour if necessary, but avoid adding too much.
**Rest the Dough:** Shape the dough into a ball, coat it with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and place it back in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. This allows the gluten to relax, making the prata easier to stretch.
**Shape the Prata:** Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Lightly oil your hands and the work surface. Gently stretch each portion into a thin, almost translucent circle, about 8-10 inches in diameter. The thinner, the flakier the prata will be.
**Form the Layers:** Drizzle each stretched circle with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Fold the circle in half, then in half again, creating a square. Gently flatten the square slightly.
**Cook the Prata:** Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Place one prata square in the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. The prata should puff up slightly.
**Prepare the Kaya Dip:** While the prata is resting, in a small saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, coconut milk, sugar, and tied pandan leaves. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10-15 minutes). Be careful not to overheat or the eggs will scramble.
**Finish Kaya:** Remove the pandan leaves from the kaya. Stir in the butter until melted and smooth. Let the kaya cool slightly before serving.
**Serve:** Serve the hot, crispy pandan roti prata immediately with the warm kaya dip. Enjoy the fragrant pandan aroma and the delightful combination of textures and flavors!
Nutrition per serving (200g)
For extra flaky prata, after folding the dough into squares, let them rest for another 15 minutes before cooking.
If you don't have fresh pandan leaves, you can use pandan essence or extract in both the prata dough and the kaya dip, adjusting the amount to taste.
Kaya can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving.
