10 Frozen Prata Recipes Including Kaya Croissants And Sambal Cheese Puffs

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.

1. Kaya Butter Croissant

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. While we made our own kaya filling for these croissants, you’re free to use any store-bought kaya if that’s more convenient.

Yield: 3 servings

Time needed: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

200ml coconut cream
100g sugar
2 eggs
8 drops pandan paste
1 pandan leaf
2 tbsp cold butter
3 pieces of frozen prata, cut into triangles

Directions:

In a bowl, add coconut cream, sugar, eggs, pandan paste, and pandan leaf.
Microwave this mixture at 700 watts for 6 minutes.
Whisk the kaya mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Preheat the oven to 180⁰C.
Spread the kaya over the prata and roll it up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

2. Nutella Banana Pockets

Nutella and banana are a no-brainer combination and our Nutella Banana Pockets recipe marries these ingredients together, within a crispy, frozen prata pastry. Not only do these make for a handy dessert, they’re sure to be a favourite amongst kids as well.

Yield: 3 servings

Time needed: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

2 pieces of frozen prata, cut into 4 squares
¼ cup Nutella

Unfold the triangle and spread Nutella in the middle.
Fold the sides of the square diagonally until you get a diamond shape.
Top with the banana slice and egg wash.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 180⁰C.

3. Cheesy Sambal Garlic Cups

One of the savoury frozen prata recipes on this list is Cheesy Sambal Garlic Cups, a delicious snack that’s also easy to make. Here, you get the spiciness of sambal, with a creamy finish from melted mozzarella. You’re free to use any sambal paste you have on hand, but we recommend making this recipe with ikan bilis sambal, for an extra dash of umami.

Yield: 3 servings

Time needed: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

2 tbsp sambal paste
1 tbsp softened butter
2 tbsp minced garlic
4 tbsp parsley flakes
6 pieces of frozen prata, cut into semi circles
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

In a bowl, add sambal paste, softened butter, minced garlic and mix.
Top frozen prata with parsley flakes.
In a baking tray, line each cup with two semi circles of prata in a criss-cross pattern.
Top the cups with sambal filling and grated mozzarella cheese, then fold up the edges of the prata.
Spread the egg wash over the prata cups and bake these in the oven for 20 minutes at 180⁰C.

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.

Time needed: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

2 pieces of frozen prata, cut into smaller circles
1 cup blueberries
9g lemon juice
6g cornstarch
15g sugar
Salt

Directions:

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.
Top the pastry in the baking tray with this blueberry filling. Decorate the top with leftover pieces of frozen prata.
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
Black sesame seeds
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.
