Chef's Notes
Treat this dough with the gentle respect of a sleeping kitten. If you rush the resting period in the steam, your pathiri will crack faster than a porcelain vase in a tempest.
Pro Tip
Keep your water boiling hot before adding the flour, and always use a wooden spoon to incorporate it rapidly to prevent lumps from forming.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you skip covering your dough balls with a damp cloth, you will end up trying to roll out shards of ancient pottery instead of soft bread.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Oh, how marvelous! A flatbread that takes more effort to roll thin than it takes for the King to raise taxes.
The Culinary Science
Gelatinization is the magic here! Boiling water cooks the starch in the rice flour, making the dough cohesive and pliable enough to roll paper-thin without gluten.

Starch Retrogradation Reversal
Storage Science
Store at room temperature in a breathable bread bag or paper wrapper for up to 2 days. DO NOT refrigerate, as the cold accelerates starch retrogradation (staling). For long-term storage, freeze tightly wrapped.
Reheating Science
To reverse staling, flick a few drops of water onto the crust and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes. The steam will re-gelatinize the starches, making the crumb soft and the crust crisp.
