Neyyada is more or less like Chattipathi but the only difference is in Chattipathiri the thin pancakes are made first and then layered with eggs. But in Neyyada each layer is steamed and when it is done the next layer is poured on top and cooked. Here goes another malabar recipe we make during Iftaar.

oil 3 tbsp

Maida/all purpose flour – 1 cup

eggs 8

sugar to taste

cardamom 1/4-1/2 tsp

cashew nuts and raisins – 1/4 cup fried in oil

  • Mix maida with water,salt and sugar as per your taste. The mix should not be watery or thich.
  • Beat eggs with a fork add sugar, a pinch of salt, cardamom powder.
  • In a non stick sauce pan or stew pan pour a ladle of the maida mix. When it is cooked pour another layer of egg mix and add cashew nuts,raisins and little oil on top. Like this each layer should be cooked before pouring the next layer.
  • Make sure that the flame is low and keep a flame tamer or heat diffuser or this type (i have the first type)  under the pan so that the heat is evenly distributed and wont get burned. I use it for all my egg palaharams!

Alternatively u can also steam layer by layer in a vessal on your stove top thats how we used to do in India but i think the non stick way is much more easier.
