Rice Pathiri

This is a traditional malabari  dish.  Pathiri with kozhicurry(chicken curry) is the  best combination...

Ingredients

• 2 cups roasted rice powder
• 2 cups water
• salt to taste
• 1 tbs oil optional
• 1 tbs jeera optional

Procedure

• Boil water with salt.
• Add jeera(optional) and rice powder to the boiling water  and stir.
• Switch off the flame and mix it.
• Keep it closed for 5 min and wait until it is ready to be touched by hand.
• Make a smooth dough with the above.
• Add oil to the dough to prevent it from sticking to the hand.(optional).
• Make balls with dough and roll it form thin pathiri sprinkling rice powder so that it does not stick to the slab.
• Heat a thawa, and make pathiris.(Like chapathis but pathiris cook faster i think. Don't allow it to change its color.)

Note: Don't add jeera if you want plain white pathiris.
