Mix and knead
Mix the wheat flour and salt. Add the egg, condensed milk, and 40 g of the ghee. Gradually add the water while mixing, then knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then knead for another 5.
Ready to continue when: The dough is smooth, elastic, and cohesive, with no visible dry flour.

Divide and rest
Divide the dough into 10 portions and shape them into balls. Coat them generously with some of the remaining ghee and place them on a greased tray. Cover and rest for at least 2 hours.
Ready to continue when: The balls have rested for at least 2 hours and feel relaxed and soft.
120 min - 03
Stretch and coil
Grease the work surface and your hands with the remaining ghee. Stretch one ball by hand until the dough is very thin, almost transparent. Fold the edges toward the center to form a strip, then roll it into a coil. Repeat with the remaining dough and let the coils rest for 10 minutes.
Ready to continue when: All 10 portions have been stretched and coiled, and the coils have rested for 10 minutes.
25 min - 04
Flatten and cook
Flatten each coil by hand into a disc about 10–15 cm wide. Heat a pan over medium heat and grease it with some of the remaining ghee. Cook the discs in batches, turning them, until browned on both sides and cooked through. Use more ghee for later batches as needed.
Ready to continue when: The roti canai are browned on both sides and no longer look raw in the center.
