Ingredients
  

For the dough:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons condensed milk
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup water adjust if needed
  • 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter plus more for frying
For the filling:
  • 2 medium bananas slightly firm, sliced thin
  • 1 egg
For the topping:
  • Sweetened condensed milk to drizzle
  • Optional: chocolate syrup sugar, shredded coconut

Method
 

  1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, condensed milk, egg, and water. Knead until soft and smooth (8–10 minutes). Brush with oil, cover, and rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Slice the bananas: Cut bananas into thin slices. Beat one egg in a small bowl.
  3. Stretch the dough: Take one dough ball (about golf ball size). Flatten and gently stretch it until thin and almost see-through.
  4. Cook the roti: Heat a non-stick pan with oil. Place the stretched dough in the pan. Add banana slices and pour the beaten egg on top.
  5. Fold the roti: Fold the edges over to enclose the filling in a square shape.
  6. Fry until golden: Cook 2–3 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown.
  7. Top and serve: Remove from the pan, cut into squares, and drizzle generously with condensed milk. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are ripe but not too soft. If they’re too mushy, the filling will be runny.
  • Don’t skip the resting time for the dough—it helps the dough stretch thin without breaking.
  • This dessert is best eaten fresh, while it’s still warm and crispy.
