Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar, stirring well.
  2. Gradually pour in warm water and vegetable oil, mixing until a rough dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
  1. While the dough rests, prepare the filling by mashing the ripe bananas until chunky.
  2. Mix in coconut sugar, toasted sesame seeds, and ground cinnamon, incorporating all ingredients.
Rolling and Filling
  1. Lightly oil your hands and the work surface. Divide the dough into equal portions and flatten into discs.
  2. Roll out each disc into a thin layer, about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Place about 2 tablespoons of the banana filling in the center of each dough circle and fold edges over the filling.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet, heat unsalted butter over medium heat until melted and sizzling.
  2. Carefully place the filled roti seam-side down in the skillet, frying for approximately 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Flip the roti and fry the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serving
  1. Remove the roti from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess butter.
  2. Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk and sprinkle with coconut sugar and toasted sesame seeds.
