Pathiri

Ingredients
Roasted fine rice flour : 1 glass
Water : one & a quarter glass
Salt : to taste
Method

Boil water and add salt to taste. Gradually add the flour. Keep stirring continuously. After all the flour has been added lower the flame and cook for a minute. Switch off the stove. Put the contents on a big plate.Knead the dough well while it is still reasonably warm. You have to knead it well using both hands. Well kneaded dough makes the pathiris soft and helps them to puff up. Apply a little coconut oil on your palms to prevent the flour from sticking to your palms.Make small balls of the dough as we do for the chapattis. Flatten it a little with your palms. Dust the chappati board with rice flour. Roll the flattened balls on the wooden board using a chappati roller in the shape of chappatis. Place a non stick tawa on a medium flame. When the tawa is hot, place the pathiris on it. Steam passes through it within a few seconds. Turn over the pathiri. This time wait a little longer till the ends of the pathiri are a little crisp and cooked. Then turn it over again. The pathiri soon puffs up. Remove the pan and place it on a plate. Serve with coconut milk and chicken curry or mutton curry.
