Key Ingredients In Banana Roti
- Frozen roti - These are easily available from the freezer section of your local grocery store.
- Bananas - The sweeter the better.
- Condensed milk - A light drizzle for extra sweetness.
How To Make Banana Roti
Cook roti - Before cooking, thaw the frozen rotis partially so they are pliable. Top one roti with sliced bananas, and then place another roti on top. You can also add a little butter to make it crisp and brown.
Add toppings - A light drizzle of condensed milk is the classic way to go, however, feel free to experiment with other toppings like caramel, chocolate or nutella.
