Banana Roti | Thai Banana Pancake

Banana Roti

Want to know a secret? Here’s a genius idea to use store bought rotis to make a very popular street food. And that means, no kneading, and no rolling, to create beautiful flaky rotis filled with sweet bananas. Well, why wouldn’t you love it? Trust me, this hack exceeded my expectations, and the rotis turned out to be so flaky and so sweet filled with delicious bananas.

All you need is partially thawed frozen rotis, bananas and condensed milk. The rotis are layered with sliced bananas and cooked in a skillet until flaky and brown. The flaky texture of the rotis contrasting the soft bananas is clearly an addicting combo. Not to mention the extra sweet drizzle adding to the sweetness of the rotis.

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.
