Frozen prata recipes

You’ve probably eaten frozen prata the traditional way, dipped in curry, but this instant flatbread is far more versatile than you think.

With our list of frozen prata recipes, you can transform this staple into localised desserts such as kaya butter croissants, savoury snacks such as cheesy sambal garlic cups, and more.

Kaya-butter toast is a traditional breakfast enjoyed by most Singaporeans. Elevate this dish by having it in a croissant format, made easier with our Kaya Butter Croissant recipe, where we use frozen prata as the puff pastry.

• 9. Blueberry Pie

We’ve established in this list of recipes that frozen prata makes a great base for pies, pancakes, desserts, and the like. This blueberry pie recipe further supports that, as the prata pastry holds up well against the sweet-and-tart, homemade blueberry filling.

• 2 pieces of frozen prata, cut into smaller circles
• 1 cup blueberries
• 9g lemon juice
• 6g cornstarch

• In a baking tray, bake the circles of prata for 10 minutes at 230⁰C.
• In a bowl, add blueberries, lemon juice, cornstarch, sugar, a sprinkle of salt, and mix.

• Bake at 230⁰C for 15 minutes.

• 10. Red Bean Pancake

Red bean pancake is a sweet item I always reach out to at dim sum restaurants. Recreate this at home using frozen prata and store-bought red bean paste. This is definitely my favourite recipe on the list—it’s more generously portioned than the red bean pancake you get at Chinese restaurants, and you’re free to stuff the pancake with as much filling as you want.

The sesame seeds on top bring a nuttiness that helps cut through the sweetness of the red bean paste too. Yield: 2 to 3 servings Time needed: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 tbsp red bean paste
• 2 pieces of frozen prata

White sesame seeds

• 1 tbsp oil

Directions:

• Spread red bean paste on a piece of prata.
• Top with another piece of prata, black sesame seeds, and white sesame seeds.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, and fry the prata, with the sesame-seed-face down till golden brown, then flip and repeat. Serve warm.
