    Malabar Neipathiri

    Ingredients:

    Rice flour-2 cups
    Hot water-4 cups(Keep extra reserve,because the ratio could 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.
