Roti canai (pronunciation ''tʃanai'') or roti cane (pronunciation ''tʃane'') is a type of Indian-influenced flatbread found in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. It is often sold in Mamak stalls in Malaysia; also in Malay, Minangkabau and Aceh restaurants in Indonesia. It is known as roti prata in Southern Malaysia and Singapore, and is similar to the Indian Kerala porotta. It is also found throughout Thailand, where it is called "Ro Tee" and is typically sold by Muslims, most often with street carts, and is usually Halal. In English and in Chinese, roti canai is sometimes referred to as "flying bread" (飞饼 ''fēibǐng''), a term that evokes the process of tossing and spinning by which it is made. In Chinese, Roti canai is originally called 印度煎饼 "yìn dù jiān bǐng", which means Indian pancake. Traditionally roti canai is served with ''dhal'' (lentil curry) or any type of curry, such as mutton or chicken curry. However, the versatility of roti canai as the staple lends itself to many variations, either savoury or sweet, with a variety of toppings and fillings, which includes eggs, banana, sardines and onion. In Thailand, it is usually served sweet - typical fillings include condensed milk, peanut butter, jam and nutella, without the curry. ==Etymology== ''Roti'' means bread in Hindi, Urdu, most other North Indian languages, and Malay. The term "canai" may be derived from: * Chennai, a city in India which is more popularly known by its colonial name Madras. Roti canai is presumed to have been introduced by immigrant labour from the Madras region where a similar combination of parotta and dalcha - the accompanying lentil curry - is served. * ''Channa'', a dish made with boiled chickpeas in a spicy gravy from Northern India with which this type of bread was traditionally served. However, the roti in Northern India is different from that served in Malaysia, and roti canai is often served with dhal or lentil curry rather than chickepea curry. The latter is more similar to the South Indian parotta. *The Malay word "canai", which means "to roll out dough". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roti canai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
