Roti
โรตี
Mild
Thai Roti is a thin, flaky pan-fried flatbread sold as a street dessert, typically topped with condensed milk, banana, or egg — a legacy of Muslim-Indian traders in southern Thailand. It's crispy on the outside, soft and layered within.
Key Ingredients
- flour dough
- condensed milk
- banana
- egg
- butter
Where to Try It
Muslim street food stalls throughout Bangkok (especially Silom), Chiang Mai night markets, and throughout southern Thailand.
Tips
- Banana and condensed milk is the classic combination — but egg roti with pandan jam is equally outstanding.
- Watch the vendor stretch the dough paper-thin before folding — the technique creates the flaky layers.
