Knead well to get soft pathiris and do not stack them when its hot,allow it to cool.

Add water accordingly,No problem if water is less when boiling,take care not to b more coz while u knead u wet ur hands to make soft pathiris.

U can cut the side using cutter to get round shaped pathiri .

Can serve with coconut milk by adding little salt,dip each pathiri in it and serve....Both adults and kids will love it....
