    Patthal[ramzan special]

    Ponni rice 1/2 kg
    salt

    Soak the rice in the hot water for 4 hours and grind it with salt like chappathi dough.
    the dough should be mukkukku mavu patham.Take a plantain leave.Take one lemon size rice dough and flat the dough as thin as possible.Cover the Patthal with another plaintain leave.Put on the hot mud lit [mannodu]and dry fry both sides.This is the traditional way of patthal making.
    Variation:with rice coconut grated may also be added.If we wish one green chilli,asafoetida may also be added when grinding.drumstic leave or chekkurmani leave may also be added.Making may be in hot tava [thosaikkal].
