Questions

Can I make Thai Roti dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted. Swap the sweetened condensed milk for a plant-based version of the same product; the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Thai Roti gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 cups all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Thai Roti keep?

Keep it covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days.

Can I halve or double Thai Roti?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
