Deep Fried Rice Bread – Rotti Pathiri

Deep fried rice bread also known as ‘rotti pathiri’ in many parts of Kerala, is a delicious dish from a small village. My husband is the man who introduced me to this dish as a snack. Now I also serve this delicious bread as breakfast also. 




He first had this deep fried rice bread in 2001, when he started his career in a software company. The cafeteria in the company served the rice bread/ rotti pathiri as their evening snacks. As he liked it very much, he wanted me to give it a try. Remembering the tastes, he guessed and told me this could be the ingredients. My first attempt had been a complete failure. I tried again and again until it came out perfect. My hubby gave me a 100/100 for this one 🙂
