Definitions
A thin, delicate rice flour flatbread from Kerala, South India — a staple of Malabar Muslim cuisine. Made by rolling the dough wafer-thin and cooking it quickly on a griddle, pathiri is almost translucent when done right. It's typically served with rich meat curries, especially chicken or fish. If you've never had it, it's one of those foods that makes you wonder why it's not more famous globally.
She made pathiri from scratch and served it with coconut chicken curry, and honestly it was the best meal of the trip.
