    by Maria on September 28, 2006

    Malabar Pathiri

    The perfect dish to break your fast during ramadan time. The combination of Malabar Pathiri & Nadan Mutton Curry is mouth watering.

    1. Rice powder – 1 cup
    2. Scraped coconut – 1 cup
      Small Onion – 4
      Jeera – 1/2 teaspoon
    3. Oil – 2 tablespoon
    4. Water – 1 1/2 cups
    5. Salt

    Grind together scraped coconut, small onion & jeera to make a paste.Add water, salt & oil to a saucepan. When it starts boiling add coconut paste & rice powder. Add rice powder little by little & stir it. Keep it on fire till all the water is absorbed by the rice
    powder. After 5-7 minutes, make small balls out of the dough. Sprinkle some rice powder over each ball & roll it.Place each ball between two butter paper & roll. Cut it into a perfect round shape using a round vessel. Heat a non stick pan & cook pathiri till both sides are done. Serve hot with Nadan Mutton Curry.
    15 – 20 pathiris can be made from this.

      Mutton curry and Pathri are good.I will try.

      This is the recipe I was looking for. The other pathiri recipes I went through did not have anything other than rice, water and salt and they described it puffing up like a phulka tho’ the ones I remember were thickish, contained coconut and had a definite flavour. The moment I read your recipe my mind’s tastebuds immediately got the taste and I knew I had the right one. Haven’t tried it yet but I will. This pathiri also goes very well ‘paani’, the palm syrup that you rarely get nowadays in Kerala.

      hi maria,

      just want to ask one thing abt the rice powder…rice powder used here is roasted or raw white rice powder

      • http://www.mariasmenu.com Maria

        Hi Divya,

        I used nirapara appam/idiyappam podi for this recipe. I dont know whether its roasted or not. I used the rice flour as it is.

        Cheers

    • rama nair

      hi maria, i’m definitely trying your recipe. but do tell what veg curry would compliment this ?

      • http://www.mariasmenu.com Maria

        Hi Rama,

        You can have pathiri with veg stew or if you eat egg, egg curry is also a nice side dish for pathiri.

        Hope you will like it.

        Cheers

      Maria,
      I tried this yesterday using teh above measurements, the dough was still very sticky and soft and impossible to spread out. Put it back on the stove and added lot more rice flour to make it drier and then was able to make pathiri. So even though they tatsted great,I think the amount of water mentioned above is more than quantity needed for 1 cup flour.Can you verify?
      Thanks
      Sonia

        Hi Sonia,

        I’ve given the measurements here based on my trials. I guess the water required varies depending on the each brand/type of rice flour. I use the above mentioned qty of water for the brand that I use.

        Sorry to hear that you had trouble making this :(

        Cheers
        Maria

        • Soniastephen

          Ya thats what one of my muslim friends here also told me. It all depends on rice flowur. Ideally is 1 cup flour to 2 cups water for the pathiri flour. I guess for mine I just need 1:1 ratio. Either ways,it tasted good  and I will be making it again.
