When it starts to boil, add rice flour little by little, stirring continuously to form a dough-like mixture. (Don’t worry — we’ll make a perfect dough.)- 3
Turn off the flame, cover with a lid, and let it sit for a while.- 4
When it’s cool enough to handle, knead it into a smooth dough using your hands.- 5
Now, make lemon-sized balls, dust them with rice flour, and roll each one out with a rolling pin — as thin as possible.- 6
Heat a tawa, place a pathiri on it, and gently press it to help it puff up. Just a few seconds on each side is enough. Do not let it burn or form brown spots.- 7
Cook both sides. Your Pathiri is ready.- 8
It tastes best with sweetened coconut milk or chicken curry. - 2
