    Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat.

    Dust the Roti Tisu with powdered sugar before serving.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Flour — Use all-purpose flour for the best results. Avoid using self-rising flour as it may affect the texture of the Roti Tisu.
  • Sweet filling — Be creative with your choice of filling. You can use chocolate, caramel, or even fruit preserves to add a unique flavor to your Roti Tisu.

Tips & Tricks

  • To achieve a paper-thin texture, make sure to roll the dough as thin as possible without tearing it.
  • Experiment with different fillings to create a variety of flavors.
  • Serve the Roti Tisu immediately after frying to maintain its crispiness.
  • Dust the Roti Tisu with powdered sugar just before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
  • If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the dough.

Serving advice

Serve the Roti Tisu as a dessert or a sweet snack. It can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Presentation advice

To present the Roti Tisu, place it upright on a serving plate, allowing its cone shape to stand tall. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or drizzle some chocolate sauce over the top for an elegant touch.
