Making Garlic Oil in the Thermomix
I decided to make some garlic oil in my Thermomix. This would be the easiest way to make it, because there would be less washing up, and the benchtop will be less oily. Furthermore, no oil would be splashing all around the wok or even splashing up trying to burn me!

Roti Jala (Net Bread)
I made roti jala yesterday for breakfast. It is a popular Malay snack that is served with curry. Here are the ingredients for roti jala:
Ingredients:
350g plain flour
25 g cooking oil
1 egg
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp salt
200g coconut milk
400g water
25 g cooking oil
Methods:
Place plain flour, cooking oil, egg, turmeric, salt, coconut milk and water in a mixing bowl and blitz it for 2 minutes at speed 4. If you do not have a thermomix, you can use any kitchen food processor.
Next transfer the mixture into a roti jala dispenser bottle which comes with spouts.
Turn on the stove and place a non-stick frying pan over a medium fire. Grease the pan lightly.
Squeeze the roti jala dispenser bottle slightly above the frying pan and moved it in an irregular pattern in a circular motion.
Cook the roti jala on both sides until it is golden brown. Roll them to form a cylinder. It is best to eat them warm with chicken curry.
