Turkey Pathiri/ Turkish Pathil

4 Comments

Presenting to you another traditional Malabar snack- Turkey pathiri or Turkish Pathil.Why did the Malabaris name it Turkey pathiri- is it the bird Turkey or the country Turkey been referred to? Some folks call it Kumbala Pathil resembling wintermelon. This delicacy is stuffed fried puris within another stuffed fried puri. You can make as many layers as you want, if you have the patience to make it. Some recipes have a whole boiled egg within the innermost fried puri.I have the recipe for two layered Turkish pathiri with beef filling in the inner puri and chicken filling in the outer puri.

Kerala Chicken Cutlets

3 Comments

I started making cutlets in the early days of experimental cooking after marriage. I  had lots of  fun in shaping and frying them well.Alternatively, cookie cutters can be used to make cutlets of desired shape.  But getting the texture correct and not having them fall apart while frying took a lot of experience.
