<encoded readability="10"><strong>Fish Pathiri</strong> is popular in Northern Kerala. I tasted Fish Pathiri for the first time from a friend’s house and liked it a lot. I decided to try <strong>Fish Stuffed Parathas</strong> similar to Fish Pathiri. I had a few Tilapia Fillets and prepared the stuffing using it. These <strong>Fish Parathas </strong>tasted yummy and we enjoyed it. If you love Fish, you should give this recipe a try.
