Method:
Wash and soak the rice overnight. Grind it along with 1/2 cup of water until to get a coarse mixture.(Do not add too much of water.If you can grind the rice with less water you need to add less rice powder only). Crush together coconut, shallot and fennel seeds. Add this to the rice mixture. Add salt too.
Mix everything well. Add enough rice powder and make it a smooth dough.
Take a lemon size ball and flatten it using your fingers by placing it on a plastic sheet. It should not be too thin. You can see the shape and width of the pathiri in the picture.
Heat oil in a pan.Remove the Pathiri from plastic paper and drop into oil. After sometimes it will float on top and puff up. Flip it over and fry both sides until golden brown color.
Serve with Malabar chicken curry / Egg Roast. Plain Pathiri itself will make a great snack.....Enjoy..:)
