Method
Mix the flour, salt, 40 ml of the vegetable oil and 120 ml warm water together in a bowl until a soft dough forms, then knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into four balls, coat each lightly with oil, and cover to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until relaxed.
Simmer the coconut cream and palm sugar together in a small saucepan for 5 minutes, stirring, until thickened into a caramel.
On an oiled surface, stretch and flatten one dough ball with your hands until paper-thin.
Heat the remaining vegetable oil on a griddle over medium heat, lay the stretched dough on top, and scatter over a quarter of the banana slices, folding the edges in to enclose them.
Fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden and crisp, pressing gently with a spatula.
Repeat with the remaining dough and banana to make four roti in total.
Cut into pieces and drizzle with the coconut caramel to serve.
