Irachi Pathal/Pathiri

May this be the first Iftar snack from my side. This is a spicy yet delicious snack again from  Malabar which is fried twice; deep fried at the first and then dipped in egg and shallow fried again. Yes of course, rich in cholestrol and so heavy that you don't need any other dish to accompany it during Iftar.

Ingredients:

White Flour/Maida
Salt to taste
Water
Meat Filling/Masala
Egg

Method:

1. Knead Flour,salt and water to a dough like that of rotis.
2. Divide the dough into big balls/pedas
3. Now roll them into very big and thin roti. Take a cookie cutter or any bottle top to cut them into small circles.
4. Take them out, fill in the stuffing and then close with another circled roti.
5. Now seal them at the edges. Here you can either seal them like we do for other 'adas' (snacks) or seal them using zig zag cutters or bottle tops.

6. Now fry them in oil till it turns brown. Take them out into a tissue paper and drain excess oil.

7. This is where you have to decide on the batter to be dipped in. Traditionally we use egg with sugar and cardamom powder in which this snack is dipped and then fried in ghee; but there is an option . You can add salt,pepper powder and curry leaves to egg and then dip this fried snack in that nicely and then shallow fry in ghee. But I suggest to try sugar mixture with a little egg and then fry one snack atleast and taste it... Its lovely.. don't hesitate using sugar for a spicy snack...

8. You can see one snack at the right side which is not dipped in egg or fried for the second time
