Thai Banana Roti: Sweeten you day with sweet dessert!

 Sweet and very sweet, ^^, but I really love this dessert.

You can find it everywhere in Thailand, as it's one of our favourite street food. But you can make it at home very easily, and you don't need any special ingredient, or equipment. It's fun to make, esp. when trying to roll the dough as thin as possible. I rarely eat very sweet dessert, but for this one sweetness is the key, hehe. Imagine crispy fried dough (Ok, load of oil too), with soft and sweet banana filling, it's the best of the world. 
If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, chocolate sauce is another good option to drizzle over the banana roti too.
Serve this super calorie packed dessert with a cup of black coffee can make you enjoy more pieces of it ^^.
