Erachi Pathiri – Pan Fried

Erachi pathiri with a different style than the traditional one. The authentic recipe includes frying puris stuffed with spiced meat preferably in circular shapes,dipping the fried puris in light sweet egg mixture and then shallow frying the egg coated fried puris. I had to alter the tradition to fit my style to make it more healthier so that I could munch on few more guilt free pathiris. My recipe includes rice pathiris with meat filling folded and then pan fried. A three step procedure cut short to one step process similar to panfried Meen Pathiri.Cooking Erachi Pathiri  made easy and tasty. Enjoy!

Kinnathappam

“Kinnathappam” means a sweet rice cake that is steamed in a pan(kinnam). Malayalis use it as a sweet snack or a dessert.For me, it was one of the best afterschool snacks…ummmm… just like neyyappam or unniyappam. The choice is yours whether to have a fried snack or a steamed one.
