Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk (for dough)
- 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil (plus extra for frying)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ripe banana, thinly sliced
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (for drizzling)
- Butter or ghee for cooking
Directions
Make the Dough:
- In a bowl, combine flour, water, 1 tablespoon of condensed milk, 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt.
- Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes to relax the gluten and make the dough easier to roll.
Roll the Roti:
- After the dough has rested, divide it into small balls.
- Roll each ball into a thin sheet as thin as possible, without tearing the dough.
Cook the Roti:
- Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat and add a bit of butter or ghee.
- Place the rolled dough onto the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Crack an egg and spread it over the center of the dough. Quickly place the banana slices on top of the egg.
- Fold the edges of the dough over to enclose the filling, creating a square parcel.
- Cook both sides for about 2–3 minutes per side until the roti is golden brown and crispy.
Serve the Banana Roti:
- Transfer the cooked roti to a cutting board and slice it into bite-sized squares.
- Drizzle generously with sweetened condensed milk before serving.
Enjoy:
- Serve hot and enjoy this warm, crispy, and sweet dessert snack.

Storage/Reheating
This dessert is best served fresh, as the roti can lose its crispness when stored. However, you can keep leftovers in an airtight container for 1–2 days. To reheat, place them on a skillet over low heat for a few minutes to restore some crispiness. You can also drizzle extra condensed milk or fresh fruit to refresh the flavors.
FAQs
Can I use store-bought roti dough for this recipe?
Yes, store-bought roti or flatbread dough can save time, but the homemade dough adds an extra layer of freshness and texture.
What if I don’t have a griddle or pan to cook the roti?
A non-stick skillet will work just as well for this recipe.
Can I use a different type of filling besides banana?
Absolutely! You can try using other fruits like mango, apple slices, or berries. You could even add chocolate or peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
Is this dessert difficult to make?
Not at all! The dough is simple to prepare, and the cooking process is quick. The hardest part might be getting the dough thin enough, but just be gentle with it.
Can I make these ahead of time?
It’s best to serve this dessert fresh to enjoy the crispy exterior, but you can prepare the dough and filling ahead of time and assemble them when you’re ready to cook.
How do I make it spicier?
Add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the filling for a spicy kick, balancing out the sweetness with heat.
