Even it is most popular dish in Malabar area we rarely prepare this in my home. After marriage from my mother in law i got this recipe. She used to prepare very thin and soft pathiris. She is a wonderfull cook and she is having unique recipes that I will share you later.
Ingredients
Roasted rice flour : 2 cup
Water : 2 cup
Salt to taste
Preparation
-
Boil 2 cups of water with salt
-
Add rice flour to boiling water and stir constantly (to avoid rice to stick in bottom that leads to get burne).
-
Turn off the fire when it mixed properly
-
Knead the dough thoroughly with hand(if possible try to knead still it little hot so pathiri will be soft)
-
Knead until it become smooth
-
Divide it into small pieces and roll in to small balls (small lemon shaped )
-
Flatten each balls into thin pathiri either by using pathiri press or chapathi roller
-
Dust with rice flour and keep aside(it is just to prevent sticking on surface. dont forget wipe out rice flour before placing in tawa) repeat this for all balls
-
Heat a tawa and palce each pathiri on it
-
After 20 sec flip over and cook other side. With spatula or with flat spoon press on centre and wait to puff up. Then flip again and take it
-
Dipping in coconut milk for few minute just before serving will enhance taste
-
Serve with any curry (spicy) you like
(adding 1 tsp of oil in rice flour will reduce stickiness of dough)
