Why Roti Prata Dough is Sweet?
The addition of sugar or sweetened condensed milk introduces a subtle sweetness to the roti prata. This enhances the overall flavor, balancing the savory elements that often accompany the dish. Sugar can promote browning and caramelization during cooking, leading to a more visually appealing and flavorful crust. But then today’s roti pratas are far more sweeter than the ones sold in the 1970s! The addition of sweetened condensed milk adds a slight creaminess to the dough, impacting the final texture and offering a richer mouthfeel.
