Banana Roti

Banana Roti is a delightful Thai dessert that features crispy, golden-brown roti filled with sweet, ripe bananas and drizzled with a rich coconut sauce. This gluten-free treat is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while enjoying the tropical flavors of Thailand.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free all-purpose flour - 100 grams
• Water - 60 ml
• Banana - 1 large, ripe
• Coconut milk - 100 ml
• Sugar - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - a pinch
• Oil (for frying) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame seeds (optional) - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the water while stirring until a smooth dough forms.
2. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes soft and pliable. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. While the dough is resting, mash the ripe banana in a bowl and set aside.
4. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle on a lightly floured surface.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the first roti in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
6. Flip the roti, add half of the mashed banana in the center, and fold the roti over to enclose the filling. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden on both sides. Remove and keep warm.
7. Repeat the process for the second roti.
8. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk and sugar. Heat over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
9. Serve the banana roti warm, drizzled with the sweet coconut sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
