Roti Boyan (Bawean) is a popular snack made with flaky pastry and stuffed with mashed potato. It is a sort of cross between a samosa and empanada. It is most probably created by Baweanese - they are from an island in East Java, Indonesia.
It is either shaped into round or square, deep or shallow fried until crispy and golden. Roti Boyan is usually found and sold at roadside stalls.
Like most pastry recipes, the quantity of liquid is very important so take care to add the water gradually until a pliable dough is formed.
Another important factor, heat the oil to the proper temperature and maintain it throughout the cooking process. If it is not hot enough, it will soak up extra oil.
If you're allergic to eggs, simply omit them but sprinkle some water to the mashed potato just to bind them.
Also sprinkle some salt when heating the oil. I noticed my Roti Boyan does not absorb excess oil.
ROTI BOYAN
Yield : 6
PASTRY
4 cups plain flour
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
METHOD
Place flour and oil in a mixing bowl.
Add in salt and gradually add water to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth.
FILLING
600 g potato boiled and mashed (I used 4 russet potato)
2 big onion chopped
1 egg lightly beaten
1 tsp salt
handful cilantro chopped
4 green chili chopped
1/2 tsp ground pepper
METHOD
Mix all the above ingredients. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE ROTI BOYAN
Divide dough into 12 small balls.
Roll out each ball into 6 in diameter. Place filling in the center, cover with another disc of dough.
Crimp the edges and complete the rest of the dough.
Heat sufficient oil in a pan, when fully heated, slide in one roti at a time. When it turns golden brown, flip and cook the other side.
Remove, cool slightly and serve with sambal tumis or chili sauce.
