Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Rice flour
  • 1 &1/2 cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Oil
  • Salt as required

Instructions
 

  • Take a wok, add pathiri powder, water, salt and oil. Stir it.
  • Combine very well without any lumps. Turn the flame on, cook on low heat. Stir continuously. Let it cook till it is a dough. Keep the dough aside for a few minutes till slightly cool.
  • When the dough is still warm, knead it well with your hands until dough is soft and smooth. If you feel hot then dip your hands in water while kneading. Make lemon sized balls from the kneaded dough.
  • Flatten the balls to get thin round shape (refer photo) using chapatti press or with the help of a steel plate and plastic cover just as shown in the figure by spreading rice flour over it.
  • Heat a flat nonstick pan on medium flame, place the pathiri on it, wait for few seconds then flip over, this time wait for little more time and flip over again. When it puffs up, remove pathiri from the pan. Make sure that the pathiris are not getting browned.
  • Serve with curries.
