Ari Pathiri / Rice Pancake

Ari Pathri is a pancake made of rice flour  and history says the word pathiri originated from the arabic word 'fateerah' meaning pastry.It is still a popular dish among muslims in Kerala and loved by all .there are many varieties of pathiri and I think this is the simplest among them.The Ari pathiri is usually served with chicken or mutton curry.Ari pathiri is a very healthy food and they are very thin pancakes which we keep on gulping without even counting the numbers.




Ingredients
for Ari pathiri
rice flour roasted 1 cup
water 1 1/4 cup
salt as required



Method
TO MAKE ARI PATHIRI-
- Use roasted rice flour or the store brought pathiri powder.(I used the reggular roasted rice flour)
-Boil the required water in a pan and add required salt for flour into the boiling water.
- Add in the flour slowly and prepare the dough.(looks like lumped upma)
-Wet your hands in cold water and then knead the dough when hot like as for chapatis.
-Wrap it in a cling wrap and coat it with a tsp of oil .Make small doughs like for chapati and roll using rolling pin after dusting with rice flour.
-Roll  it as thin as possible.Cut it using a round shaped bottle cap to get the proper round shape or press it in chapati maker.
-Heat a tawa or nonstick pan and cook  each on it.keep on low medium heat.
-Wait till it fluffs,donot wait for brown spots like for chapatis.
-Serve it hot with Chicken curry or mutton curry !!



Notes
* If you donot have roasted rice flour.Dry roast it in a kadai 5-6 minutes without browning on low-med heat.
* You can apply a thin layer of coconut milk on top for added flavor just before serving.
* Also donot stack them when hot.Wait till it cools down.

wow.this looks so yummy...it is similar to rice rooti...but...sounds interesting...book marked..just wann know..can we prepare roasted rice flour at home or...how it is made?

Rita said... Best Blogger Tips

Julie said... Best Blogger Tips

Thanx all:-)
@ Chitra :Regarding your query,you can prepare roasted rice flour by just placing the required amount of flour in a kadai and warm it up,keep stirring continously on low medium heat and wait for 5-10 minutes,when you feel the aroma of plain flour disappears.You can stop the flame and pour the flour on a plain paper,spread to cool down.(Make sure you don't burn up or brown up the flour,so keep the heat accordingly.Sometimes lumps do form,don't worry-you can just blend it in the blender once its cooled down.)
