Pathiri and chicken curry are a wholesome combination of one of Kerala's most cherished recipes in the Malabar Muslim community. Pathiri are delicate rice flatbreads that are soft, white, and incredibly tender. Unlike regular rotis, these are made from rice flour and cooked on a hot pan without oil to retain their pristine colour. The special chicken curry recipe that accompanies pathiri is rich, aromatic, and creamy, made from freshly ground coconut, with the perfect balance of spices that Kerala cuisine is famous for. This is one of those special Ramadan recipes, prepared for family or community gatherings.
