Roti Jala can be eaten just by itself, however, it is not considered a complete meal if it is not eaten with curry.

Ingredients	Functions
Egg	-Water from egg whites helps to activate gluten and provide some structure -incorporates air when whipped, adds colour and even flavour
Yellow colouring	-to enhance the appearance of the food -act as a colouring agent
Flour	-forms gluten when mixed with water -Gluten an elastic substance will continue to stretch as the gases expand during heating until the heat source coagulates the gluten. This will produce a soft texture
Salt	-Used for its own flavor and to bring out the natural flavorsof the other ingredients -Salt also has a strengthening effect upon the flour proteins which is desirable
Water	Water dissolves the salt, developes the flour proteins, and controls the consistency and temperature of the dough.
