'''Chatti pathiri''' is a layered pastry made in the [[North Malabar]] and [[Malabar (Northern Kerala)|Malabar]] region, of [[Kerala]], [[India]]. It is made in both sweet and savoury variations. The dish is similar to the Italian [[lasagna]], but instead of pasta, pastry sheets / pancakes made with [[flour]], [[Egg (food)|egg]], [[oil]] and water are used. The filling depends on the variation desired. The sweet ones are made with sweetened beaten eggs, nuts and raisins, seasoned with [[cardamom]]. The savoury ones are made with traditional meat filling used in making [[samosas]] or savoury puffs. The flour is kneaded into soft dough and rolled into thin pancakes. These pancakes are soaked in milk to soften them and arranged in layers. The fillings are added between these layers. Once layered, it goes in for baking at 180 degrees for approximately 20 minutes.
