Malabar Neipathiri/Porichapathiri & Cherupayar Ishtu
Ingredients:
Rice flour-2 cups
Hot water-4 cups(Keep extra reserve,because the ratio cd vary depending on the rice quality)
Salt-as required
Fennel seeds-1 tsp
Cumin seeds-1/2tsp
Oil-for deep frying
Ghee-1 tbsp
Method:
Dry roast the rice flour with fennel seeds,cumin seeds and salt added till u get the fine aroma of roasted flour.(Flour changes the tint slightly).Now add hot water gradually.Mix with a ladle and close the vessel for 4 minutes.Now once the flour has cooled enough to be touched with the hand knead it well into a fine smooth dough.(Knead it thoroughly or else the pathiri will break when u roll it out,for unlike chappathi dough this rice dough is not elastic).Make small lemon size balls and spread it slightly, the size of a Poori.While rolling it out, keep dusting the sides with flour,in order to prevent it from breaking.Heat oil in a wok.Add ghee for a richer neipathiri.Now deep fry the each pathiri till it becomes slightly golden. It is a wonderful dish with most of the nonveg curries,sea food preparations and the vegetable stews...I have had too much of non veg, so I went for Cherupayar Ishtu we generally make as side dish for this Pathiri.
