Step 1
For preparing Chatti Pathiri - Malabar Dish, spare 8 inches diameter on a dusted flour board. Heat a griddle and cook the chappathis lightly on a tawa. You can vary the size of the chappathi depending on the size of the pathiri chatti or the vessel in which you are baking it.

Beat 3 eggs with sugar, 1 tbsp ghee and cardamom. Set aside.

Add grated coconut and cook until they change the colour slightly.
Step 5
Add the previously beaten egg and scramble the whole mixture. Set aside.

Get a non-stick baking tray, spread 1 tsp oil or ghee all around(spray the nonstick oil). Dip chappathi in egg mixture and keep it as the first layer. Arrange the scrambled egg mixture. Keep another egg dipped chappathi on top.
Step 7
Keep adding the egg-coating at each step and finally pour the remaining egg mixture over the sides and on the top. Cook in low flame with a cover for a few minutes. Garnish with cashew nuts and raisins.

Tip
Frying the boiled eggs briefly before adding to the curry gives them a golden skin that holds up better in the gravy.
