Turkey Pathiri- a lip smacking snack...

First time I heard about this dish around 2 yrs ago in a cookery program.The name sounded unique and  I found it interesting. At that time I didn’t try but during Ramzan fasting I thought of trying this out.



This is a traditional malabar snack. This is basically an egg stuffed puri inside another minced chicken stuffed puri. We can make as many layers as we like.  The filling can be of egg / meat or sweet coconut, even though the name sounds like an out and out meat dish. I am sure children will go crazy over this delicacy.  Just try this…

  1. Chicken Mince- 1 Cup
  2. Onions- 1no
  3. Ginger garlic paste- 1 tbsp
