Irachi Pathiri

Irachi Pathiri is fried bread stuffed with spicy mutton, then dipped in an egg-milk mixture and deep-fried. It is a special dish from the Northern Malabar region in Kerala. Shredded mutton is cooked with different spices and a hot spicy filling is prepared. Filling should be topped with fresh coriander leaves and allowed to cool completely.

For the pastry dough, all-purpose flour and wheat flour are used. The dough should be soft, and it should be easy to work with. After rolling out the dough, the filling should be placed on one of the pathiris, and then topped with another pathiri to seal it completely. The edges need to be sealed properly; otherwise oil can go inside making the pathiri very oily. Make sure that you do not end up overstuffing the pathiris, otherwise they will break while frying. After this, the pathiris are dunked into an egg (anda) mixture, and fried in hot oil. This rich meat-filled pastry is especially cooked during Ramadan and Eid. Irachi Pathiri is sure to leave a lot of mouths watering and asking for more.
