Erachi Pathiri is a classic Malabar dish made with a thin, crispy pastry stuffed with a flavorful spiced meat filling. The filling, typically made with minced chicken, beef, or mutton, is sautéed with onions, green chilies, and aromatic spices, giving it a rich and savory taste. The stuffed dough is then sealed, dipped in egg, and deep-fried to golden perfection. This dish is widely enjoyed during Iftar in Ramadan and on festive occasions, often paired with mint chutney or tea. The combination of a crispy outer layer and a juicy, spiced meat filling makes Erachi Pathiri a delightful snack or appetizer.
