Gothamb Pathiti (Wheat Roti) is one of the specialities of Malabar side in Kerala. Most of the muslims from calicut especially kuttichira and thekkepuram cant imagine a dinner without this! LOL! This is also made for breakfasts. Gothamb Pathiri is also known as Kannuvecha Pathiri or madakki chapathi.

There are 2 -3 folds in this deep fried roti and this is my next entry for Roti Mela.

This is what you’ll need.

• Atta for dough
• Salt to taste
• water to knead
• oil for frying.

This is how u make it.

• Knead aata as usual.Make medium size ball and make a large chapathi. Apply oil lightly on it.
• Then fold the 2 sides to the centre. Apply oil lightly on top.
• Again fold the other 2 sides to make a square and apply oil on top .Now fold again from each corner to form another small square.

• Turn to the other side and roll again till its thin.. not so thin…
• Deep fry the pathiri.
