Petti Pathiri Recipe

Petti Pathiri

Petti Pathiri is the name of the dish given to stuffed parantha parcels. It is a famous Malabar snack in the shape of a square stuffed with filling (Petti in Malayalam means box). The dough is prepared using all-purpose flour (maida). In this recipe, the filling consists of chicken and hard-boiled egg (anda). For variation, shredded lamb can also be used as filling. The chicken is boiled with spices like turmeric (haldi), black pepper (kaali mirch), chilli powder (laal mirch) and garlic (lahsan). The chicken should be soft from the outside, and should be mixed properly with the sautéed spices. Heating should be followed by immediate cooling of stuffing. Boiled egg is to be added to this filling in the end. The dough prepared from all-purpose flour should be soft and easy to work with. First, the cooked chicken should be spread on the thin square shaped roti. The half portion of boiled egg is to be placed in the centre of this topping, with the yolk side facing downwards. The filling should be uniform, and the square should be sealed firmly by covering the filling with another square. Deep frying of these squares is the last step. The final petti pathiri have an incredible golden brown colour. The excess oil can be drained out by using kitchen tissue papers. These squares of delight can be served as appetizers.
