Description

That is how we call it in my moms place . This dish is an authentic dish very own to the Muslim speaking Tamils who hail from Palghat And Coimbatore region . In Malayalam the same dish is known as ari pathiri or just pathiri . I remember my grand mom ( dads mom balkees perima ) used to tell me that at her times of being young any one wanting a girl to be married to their family would be asked 3 questions. One if they finished reading the holy Quran , two , do they pray five times a day and third Do you know to make arusi maavu rotti ? This dish is that important to the Muslims of the Palghat , Coimbatore region . Thank god I got married to a Tamil family because I didn’t know how to make pathiri till very recently . I made it a point to learn as I love the dish and didn’t want the dish to fade away from my daily cooking .
