Pathiri

Pathiri

Traditional Malabar cuisine

Pathiri is one of the traditional recipe of Kerala Muslim Cuisine.We used to prepare pathiri 2-3 times in a month. Pathiri with kozhi curry, beef curry, egg roast all are super delicious. We can make pathiri mainly in 3 ways .First one is the simplest way, without using coconut and shallots. Make dough and make pathiri using a press. Second way is by adding grated coconut,shallots and cumin and make pathiri using press or chapathi maker. Third is the traditional one. My grandma used to make pahtiri this way. She take dough in hand and simply make large round pathiri with hands. It will be around 1/2 inch thick and one pathiri will be enough for a person. I still remember the way she is making that. Here I would like to share the second way of making pathiri. The best combination of pathiri is with coconut milk and sugar.
