The Roti Man
In Thailand a popular dessert is the roti (pronounced lotee). Roti, a tasty pan-fried bread, is similar to Paratha of Indian origin and Malaysia’s Roti canai.
This young man, originally from India, was the local roti maker in Ban Tawi where my wife is from. He would come by every evening and sell these wonderful pastries. Always smiling and pleasant.
Roti is widely served all over Thailand. There are both sweet and savory versions, which can vary in style from vendor to vendor and province to province. Bought from roadside roti vendors. It’s really enjoyable to watch how a Thai street vendor expertly prepares a plain roti by stretching and flipping the dough and expertly frying it up with oil and butter.
.The basic version of sweet roti usually includes condensed milk drizzled on top and some sugar. (not a health food!) You will often see it rolled up in paper. Another option is roti krob or crispy roti, which I prefer This roti is cooked longer to create almost a chip-like crispy snack, cut into smaller pieces.
