This time MFB challenge is very simple and close to our heart recipe.The challenge is to prepare a dish that we commonly make during Ramadan in our homes that’s filled with nostalgia”Ramadan Memories”There are many dishes to choose from,and i’ve selected the Stuffed Bread which is very common in our area.
So this is one of my most favorite among our traditional snacks.And there are many more deliciousness served in our place which i love to the chore.Whatever new snacks and innovations we bring in our cooking it can never beat the taste of our traditional ones.Agree or not?hehe!In my home Koyada or erachipathil is a must dish for all 30 days of Ramadan.We all sit together and do this job like one do rolling,one stuffing and many for folding!hehe Missing all those fun filled days,.But here I’m so lazy to cook that…Once in a blue moon.sigh!Eagerly waiting for vacation!
At home umma used to place an order for freshly baked bread day before.This is a medium sized bread without slicing..For preparing this, first make a cavity for this and stuff it with spicy chicken or meat filling along with an egg.Here i got small breads so stuffed only half of the egg.Then shallow fry it by dipping it in egg white till its crisp and golden brown.Just love this.

I am missing home! 🙁 When are you going on vacation? Roti narachathu is a treat for us. The buns you used are the soft ones like pav? This is a superb idea, I never thought of using these buns for making this. InshaAllah. This is exactly how we make too. 🙂 And the koyada tradition of rolling, filling, pinching, frying sitting in the palaka in kitchen with all chattering and laughing – I miss home. Btw, have you moved back to Jeddah?
In sha Allah leaving on 30th after Eid!Yes i used pav buns!hehe all those fun moments!No why you asked back to Jeddah?
Ya Allah… Bun narchathu! We never had it in our side, and I was surprised to read of this dish in Fayiza Moosa's Malabar cookbook, and here I see it, looking so droolworthy on your screen! Alla, nombinaara pakal chaaya kudikunne? 😛 I have to make this once for sure… at least for the experience of it… Food is a hallmark in your area, right… 🙂
Thank you so much dear!You have to try it for sure,it's worth trying!haha this one was pre Ramadan click!Yes true that food is really a hallmark!
Nice and fulfilling meal for iftar. Delicious
Thank you Huma!
Love this! Sounds amazing! I thing the filling sounds great and I would imagine that it would be versatile enough for many different types of appetizers! Love the photos too!
Lovely pictures and what a wonderful dish to be served as breakfast too other than Ramadan.
