tat day i tried roti boyan at lau pa sat. malay stall at the bridge. nice when its hot.
Thx for posting this! Hubby & I loves this! Just wondering, roughly how many rotis can I make fr this recipe?
Hi, the answer will be approximately 10 breads. As a guide, most recipes that weight 1 kg will serve to the average of 10 pax. This will also goes to poultry, meat and such. So if 500 g flour will serve about 5 pax.
