  1. YUM! Thanks for posting the recipe, Nam! I tried it and it tuned out fantastic although I skipped some of the ingredients! I have another request, though...Please post the roti recipe that is eaten as a desert in Thailand and Malaysia- I read it somewhere, they dip it in condensed milk. Frida Pinto loves roti and I love Frida. I also have an insatiable sweet tooth. I love sweets (it costs me hours in the gym to keep in shape) and your recipes never disappoint! I guess the saying "never trust a skinny chef" is not true in your case! Thank you and have happy holidays!
