Rice Pathiri

Directions

1. 1
   Boil 2 cups of water with salt and oil and mix with the rice flour. Add the remaining 1/2 cup water. Knead to a dough.
2. 2
   Grease a piece of banana leaf or plastic sheet with oil. Flatten out a scoopful of the dough on the greased surface with your palm to make a round-shaped pathiri. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
3. 3
   Dab oil on a griddle and cook the pathiris in batches. Flip them so that both sides cook evenly. Use the back of a spoon or a folded banana leaf to press gently on the pathiris as they cook so that they puff up. Dab some ghee on both sides.
4. 4
   The hot pathiris go well with all types of curries.
