Steamed Chicken Pathiri | Kozhi Pathiri
A staple flatbread of Kerala kitchens, cooked on a hot tawa until it puffs and develops golden spots. Tear it apart with your hands and use it to mop up every last drop of curry.

- 500 g Chicken
- 1+1/2 tsp Pepper powder

Preparation
Step 1
Cook the chicken by adding pepper powder, turmeric powder and salt to taste.
Step 2
Warm coconut oil in a pan and add ginger garlic paste, green chillies and cook well. Then add chopped onion into it and Let it cook for 4 minutes on a low flame, Now add turmeric powder, pepper powder and cook for another few seconds.
Step 3
Add the shredded chicken, chopped coriander leaves, curry leaves and salt into it. Stir everything together thoroughly and Let it cook for 3 minutes. The filling is ready.
Step 4
Mix rice flour with water and salt to taste to make a smooth dough. Knead the dough and make it into a soft ball.
Step 5
Get some dough and make a small ball out of it ( like for chapathi ). Divide it into two portions. Roll it out into two thick pathiris. Place filling at the center of a pathiri and place another rolled out pathiri over it and gently press the edges together. Steam let it go for 25 minutes.
Step 6
Cut pathiri into small pieces. Serve hot. Steamed Chicken Pathiri is ready.
Tip
Do not boil the curry hard after adding coconut milk. A gentle simmer is all you need — vigorous boiling can cause the coconut milk to split.
