Recipe: Roti John

Roti John is an omelette-minced beef sandwich that we can often find at Ramadan Bazaars. Since we didn't get to visit any bazaars this year, I decided to try making this at home. The minced beef is first cooked with the spices, onion and garlic. Then, the cooked beef is added to beaten eggs. This mixture is ladled onto a frying pan and toasted buns are laid on top until the egg has set. Finally, garnish with lettuce, mayo and ketchup and enjoy! Absolutely delicious ;)
