A classic Malaysian breakfast of Indian derivation, though this flaky finger food is good any time of day (and  really  good at about three in the morning). A dough of flour, egg, and ghee (clarified butter) is incredibly, almost unbelievably elastic; it's stretched quickly into a tissue-thin sheet, like pizza dough but even more dramatic, then folded back up and griddled. In its best form, right off the griddle, it's flaky and crisp like a good croissant on the outside, soft and steaming and a little bit chewy on the inside. It's also served with curry, often lentil dal; other versions are cooked with egg, or onion, or sardines. Ingredients : 600 g plain wheat flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup warm water or milk 1/2 cup ghee or margarine 1 egg 1 teaspoon sugar Method : Sift the flour and salt together. Knead flour, egg, sugar and ghee with water/milk (a little at a time) good enough to make a moderately soft dough or easy to handle. Leave for 2-3 ...
