Chatti Pathiri isa layered pastry made in the North Malabar and Malabar region, of Kerala, India. It is made in both sweet and savory variations. But this time we prepared sweet vegetarian version. This is a
little time consuming recipe but really tasty and delicious.
little time consuming recipe but really tasty and delicious.
For this
recipe, we have to prepare three portions; one is pathiri (flatbread), second
is nut filling and third is coconut milk mixture. This filling is made with nuts and condense milk. The flour
is kneaded with oil and water into soft dough and rolled into thin pancakes.
These pancakes are soaked in milk to soften them and arranged in layers. The
fillings are added between these layers. Once layered, it goes in for baking at
180 degrees for approximately 20 minutes. You can bake this recipe in oven or
cook on stove too. I prefer stove cooking rather than oven.
