Cooking steps
  1. 1

    In a saucepan over medium heat, bring 2 cups of water and 0.5 tsp salt to a gentle simmer.

  2. 2

    Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and add the rice flour in gradually, stirring continuously with a wooden spatula to prevent lumps.

  3. 3

    When the mixture comes together as a soft dough, remove from heat and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rest for 10 minutes to ensure moisture evenness.

  4. 4

    Pinch golf-ball-sized portions from the warm dough and shape each into a smooth ball. Roll out each ball on a lightly greased surface using coconut oil, pressing gently to form thin, even circles about 6 inches in diameter.

  5. 5

    Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Place one Pathiri onto the dry pan and cook until light spots appear, flipping after about 25–30 seconds per side. Remove and cover with a cloth to retain softness. Repeat with remaining dough.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The core ingredient in the Best Easy Pathiri Festive Recipe is rice flour. This gives the Pathiri its traditional soft texture and delicate, neutral flavor, making it a versatile accompaniment to a variety of Indian dishes.
Q. How do I get a perfectly soft and pliable Pathiri?
Achieving a soft Pathiri depends on controlling moisture and heat. Resting the dough after mixing allows the flour to hydrate evenly, and using medium-high heat ensures the bread cooks quickly without drying out. Covering cooked Pathiris keeps them tender.
Q. What’s the best way to prevent my Pathiri from cracking or becoming tough?
To prevent cracking, ensure the dough remains warm and moist while shaping. Cover dough portions with a damp cloth and avoid overcooking, as too much time on the skillet can make Pathiri brittle. Rolling evenly also helps maintain tenderness.
Q. How many calories and carbs are there in one serving?
Each serving of Pathiri Festive contains about 110 kcal and 23g of carbohydrates. Carbs make up around 83% of the calorie content, making this a light, bread-style addition to your meal.
