Ingredients

For the Pathiri Dough
  • Rice Flour

    2 cups

  • Salt

    a pinch

For the Filling
  • Carrots

    1 cup

  • Peas

    1 cup

  • Onions

    1 cup

For the Coconut Curry
  • Coconut Milk

    1 can

  • Coconut Oil

    2 tablespoons

  • Turmeric

    a pinch


Instructions

  • 1
    Start by preparing the pathiri dough, combining rice flour and salt with water to form a smooth, pliable mixture.

    To make the dough, in a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour and salt. Gradually add in water, kneading the mixture until it forms a smooth, pliable dough. Cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to rest.

  • 2
    Prepare the filling by sautéing the onions, carrots, and peas in a little oil until they are tender.

    In a medium saucepan, heat a couple of tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, then add the diced carrots and peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  • 3
    Roll out the pathiri dough into thin circles and place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each.

    Divide the rested dough into small balls, about the size of a small egg. Roll out each ball into a thin circle, using a rolling pin. Place a spoonful of the prepared filling in the center of each pathiri.

  • 4
    Fold the pathiri over the filling, forming a half-moon shape, and press the edges together to seal.

    Fold the pathiri dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together firmly to seal the pathiri. Use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring they are tightly sealed.

  • 5
    Prepare the coconut curry by heating coconut oil in a saucepan, then adding turmeric and finally coconut milk.

    In a large saucepan, heat the coconut oil over low heat. Add a pinch of turmeric and stir for a moment, until fragrant. Then, pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  • 6
    Cook the pathiri in the coconut curry until they float to the surface.

    Carefully place the sealed pathiri into the simmering coconut curry. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pathiri float to the surface. Remove from heat and serve hot.

    A most intriguing recipe, Vegetable Pathiri with Coconut Curry, that warrants a nuanced evaluation. While the dish's complexity and richness align with my penchant for gourmet cuisine, certain elements fall short of expectations. The incorporation of rice flour and coconut milk demonstrates a commendable commitment to authenticity, and the amalgamation of carrots, peas, and onions within the pathiri presents a satisfactory textural contrast. However, I find the described preparation method somewhat wanting in sophistication. The utilization of coconut oil and turmeric in the curry is a laudable attempt at depth of flavor, yet the overall presentation and plating are not addressed, which I consider essential for a truly refined dining experience. In conclusion, this recipe shows promise but would benefit from refinement to elevate it to a truly exceptional gastronomic encounter.

    TBH, I was low-key excited to try this Vegetable Pathiri with Coconut Curry recipe, but it didn't quite hit the spot for me. As a non-veggie lover who's all about sushi and ramen, I was expecting something more... savory? I mean, the flavors were on point, and I loved the combo of crispy pathiri and rich coconut curry. But, IMO, it was missing that umami kick that I get from my fave dishes. The coconut curry was pretty on fleek, though! If I'm being real, I'd probs swap out the veggies for some protein (chicken or beef, maybe?) to make it more satisfying for my taste buds. Still, it's a solid 3 stars from me - def worth a try if you're into veggie-centric meals

    ¡Este plato es interesante! Me gusta la idea de combinar la pathiri crujiente con la curry de coco, pero debo admitir que me falta algo. Como amante de la carne, especialmente del asado argentino con choripan y morcilla, esta receta vegetariana no me satisface del todo. La preparación es un poco complicada, pero me gusta la idea de hacer algo tradicional. Sin embargo, creo que le faltaría un poco de sabor a carne o algo que lo haga más emocionante para mí. ¡Quizás si le agregara un poco de dulce de leche o algo dulce, podría ser más atractivo! En general, es un plato rico y bien presentado, pero no es mi favorito.

    I tried Vegetable Pathiri with Coconut Curry and was underwhelmed. As a vegetarian who loves traditional Ghanaian dishes like fufu and light soup, I found this South Indian recipe lacking in familiarity and flavor. The ingredients and preparation method seemed overly complicated compared to my staple dishes. I also dislike coconut milk, which dominated the flavor profile. While I appreciate the effort to explore new cuisines, I won't be making this again. My suggestion: add more herbs and spices to balance the coconut milk taste.

    ### A Delicious and Traditional South Indian Dish I recently had the opportunity to try the Vegetable Pathiri with Coconut Curry recipe, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. As a vegetarian who appreciates traditional Indian cuisine, I was excited to see how this dish would turn out. The combination of crispy pathiri and rich coconut curry was absolutely satisfying. #### The Recipe's Strengths - The use of rice flour for the pathiri dough was a great choice, as it provided a nice texture. - The filling with carrots, peas, and onions was flavorful and well-balanced. - The coconut curry was creamy and aromatic, with a perfect hint of turmeric. #### Areas for Improvement - I would suggest adding a bit more variety to the filling, perhaps with some spinach or other leafy greens, to give it an extra boost of flavor. - Additionally, it would be helpful to provide some alternatives to coconut milk for those who may not have access to it or prefer not to use it. #### Overall Experience Despite these minor suggestions, I thoroughly enjoyed making and eating this dish. The instructions were clear, and the preparation process was manageable. I appreciated the attention to detail required in sealing the pathiri, which made the experience feel more engaging and rewarding. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try traditional South Indian cuisine. Just be mindful of the nut-free requirement, as some coconut products may be processed in facilities that also handle nuts.

    I must admit that I was drawn to the Vegetable Pathiri with Coconut Curry recipe due to its unique blend of flavors and textures. As someone who appreciates French cuisine, particularly pastries and cheeses, I was intrigued by the idea of a crispy pathiri paired with a rich coconut-based curry. However, given my recent efforts to reduce gluten intake, I was pleased to see that the recipe uses rice flour instead of traditional wheat flour. The combination of sautéed vegetables, coconut milk, and turmeric in the curry sauce is certainly appealing. Nevertheless, I do wish that the recipe provided more detailed instructions on how to achieve the perfect crispiness for the pathiri, as this can be a challenging aspect of making this dish. Overall, I would consider this recipe a good starting point for those looking to explore South Indian cuisine, but it may require some adjustments to suit individual tastes.

    This Vegetable Pathiri with Coconut Curry recipe presents a fascinating amalgamation of South Indian flavors, skillfully marrying the crispy texture of pathiri with the rich, creamy essence of coconut curry. As a vegetarian, I appreciate the thoughtful incorporation of plant-based ingredients, and the lactose intolerance-friendly use of coconut milk is a notable plus. The preparation process, while moderately complex, yields a satisfying result that is well worth the effort. The combination of rice flour, vegetables, and coconut milk results in a dish that is at once familiar and exotic, aligning with my penchant for exploring novel Nordic-inspired culinary experiences, albeit with a South Indian twist. The nuanced interplay of flavors and textures in this recipe merits a solid 4-star rating, with the sole deduction being for the moderate level of difficulty, which may deter some prospective cooks.

  • AishaTheGreat

    A delightful twist on traditional pathiri, with a lovely coconut curry that's sure to please even the most discerning palate. As a vegetarian with a nut allergy, I appreciate the careful consideration of ingredients in this recipe. The combination of crispy pathiri and rich coconut curry is absolutely divine. However, I do wish there were more creative options for the filling - perhaps some innovative uses of Gujarati spices or flavors? Nonetheless, this recipe is a great starting point, and I'm excited to experiment with new variations. One minor quibble: it would be helpful to specify the exact amount of water needed for the dough, as this can vary depending on the type of rice flour used. Overall, a wonderful recipe that's sure to become a staple in my kitchen.

    🌯️ I gotta say, this Vegetable Pathiri with Coconut Curry recipe was a pleasant surprise! 🤩 As a veggie lover, I was stoked to see a dish that was not only meat-free but also super flavorful. 🌮 The combination of crispy pathiri and rich coconut curry was on point! 👍 However, I did have to make some adjustments due to my lactose intolerance 🤕 - I swapped out the coconut milk for a non-dairy alternative, and it worked like a charm! 😊 The recipe was a bit more involved than I'd like, but the end result was totally worth it. I'd def give it another try and experiment with some Latin American-inspired fillings 🌯️👌 - maybe some roasted veggies or beans? 🤔 Overall, a delish and creative dish that I'd recommend to fellow foodies! 👏

    I appreciate the cultural significance of Vegetable Pathiri with Coconut Curry, but I have to admit that it's not exactly my usual go-to dish. As someone who typically enjoys traditional Middle Eastern cuisine like shawarma and falafel, I found the flavors in this South Indian dish to be quite different from what I'm used to. The combination of rice flour pathiri and coconut curry was interesting, but it didn't quite resonate with my love for Arabic coffee and desserts. That being said, I can see why this dish would be a staple in many South Indian households, and I appreciate the effort that goes into making it. Perhaps with a few tweaks to incorporate some Middle Eastern spices or flavors, this dish could be a real winner for me.

    Cette recette de Vegetable Pathiri avec Coconut Curry est vraiment délicieuse! En tant que flexitarien, j'apprécie la variété de textures et de saveurs dans ce plat. La pâte de riz est un peu inhabituelle pour moi, mais elle se marie à merveille avec la curry au coco. J'ai toutefois dû faire quelques ajustements pour accommoder mon intolérance au lactose - j'ai utilisé un substitut de lait de coco sans lactose et réduit la quantité de noix de coco pour éviter tout inconfort. La préparation est un peu plus longue que je ne l'aurais souhaité, mais le résultat est vraiment worth it. Je pense que je vais essayer de l'adapter à d'autres recettes traditionnelles québécoises pour créer un mélange de saveurs intéressant. Bref, je recommande cette recette à tous ceux qui aiment la cuisine internationale et les mélanges de saveurs originaux!

    A satisfying and flavorful dish, the Vegetable Pathiri with Coconut Curry. As a pescatarian who appreciates diverse culinary traditions, I find the combination of crispy pathiri and rich coconut curry intriguing. The use of rice flour and coconut milk aligns with my taste for Nordic and international cuisine. I deduct a star because the recipe does not include seafood, which I often prefer. The instructions are clear, making it accessible for those with intermediate cooking skills.

    As I ponder the intricacies of traditional South Indian cuisine, I find myself drawn to the Vegetable Pathiri with Coconut Curry recipe. The harmonious balance of flavors and textures resonates deeply with my appreciation for the subtleties of traditional Bangladeshi dishes like biryani and haleem. However, as a non-vegetarian, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of longing for the rich, savory flavors that meat-based dishes bring. The coconut curry, with its creamy, velvety texture, was a delightful surprise, and I appreciated the careful use of ingredients, which aligns with my cultural and religious dietary values. Nevertheless, I couldn't shake off the feeling that the dish was missing a certain je ne sais quoi – perhaps the depth that only a well-marbled piece of meat can provide. Still, I commend the recipe for its thoughtful approach to traditional cuisine and its attention to detail. **A Contemplative Cook's Verdict:** While not a perfect match for my tastes, this recipe shows promise and is worth considering for those who appreciate the nuances of South Indian cooking.

  • KTOMath23

    Interesting fusion dish, but I was expecting something more savory. The use of coconut milk and rice flour was intriguing, but I think I'd prefer a heartier, spicier curry. Unfortunately, the lactose intolerance was a bit of a concern with the coconut milk, but I managed. Maybe consider adding some protein like chicken or shrimp to make it more satisfying for my taste buds.

    I'd like to preface that I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Vegetable Pathiri with Coconut Curry recipe, even if it wasn't exactly aligned with my vegetarian preferences and gluten-free requirements. The detailed steps and ingredient list provided were well-structured and easy to follow. However, I did notice that the recipe includes rice flour, which is gluten-free, but also mentions that the dough needs to rest, which I assume is to allow the gluten to relax - although rice flour is naturally gluten-free, this could be a point of confusion for some readers. As someone who is meticulous about accuracy, I appreciate the attention to detail in the recipe. The use of coconut milk and coconut oil in the curry sounded particularly intriguing, and I can appreciate the traditional South Indian flavors at play. If I were to modify the recipe to suit my tastes, I might consider adding some Mexican-inspired spices to give it a unique twist. Overall, I'd give this recipe 4 stars - it's a great starting point, but could benefit from some adjustments to accommodate gluten-free and vegetarian dietary needs.
