Pathiri (Malayalam: പത്തിരി, pronounced [patː̪iɾi]) is a pancake made of rice flour. It is part of the local cuisine among the Mappilas of North Malabar and Malabar in Kerala State of Southern India. Crushed rice is made into a white dough and baked on pans called oadu. After preparation it is sometimes soaked in coconut milk to keep it soft and to improve the flavor.
Pathiri is also known as ari pathil or pathil in some parts of the Malabar region. The word pathiri traces its origin to the Arabic word fateerah فطيرة, meaning "pastry". It is believed that{{by whom?}} pathiri itself originated with the Arabs in Malabar.
Today, pathiri is still a popular dish among the Muslims in Kerala. It is usually prepared for dinner and served with meat or fish. In some regions, pathiri is regularly served during Iftar in the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
Variants of pathiri include neypathiri (made with ghee), poricha pathiri (fried rather than baked), meen pathiri (stuffed with fish), and irachi pathiri (stuffed with meat).
Well, I can still recall the first time that I first laid my eyes on you
I can't believe all the years that have passed since
Or just how little we then knew
But as the ways of fate would have it well in the end we sure did meet
I am a man so high on this feeling I feel like dancing in the streets
I'd hoped you somehow would have always known
Though I know I would let it show
I can't believe this is really happening
Please someone punch me and ask me what day we have today
What day we're having today
I'm sure that I would not reply coz I would not if I was dreaming
Still this feels good to be a lie
Coz when I look deep into your big brown eyes
It's like a flash outta clear blue sky
And then that gentle smile when your eyes meet mine
It's like I loose all sense of time
Oh, how I wished for all these years, how I've longed
How out of place all words will seem at times
It's like we don't need to talk at all
I get off quite allright from just looking into your eyes
From looking into your eyes from just looking into your eyes
It feels like I could surely fly
It happens every time you're near me
This feels so good it must be right
Coz when I look deep...
Oh, how I've wished...
I can't believe I've wished I'd died
That was before that you had called me
This feel so good it must be right
Coz when I look deep...
