Method

In a bowl combine plain flour, wheat flour, salt . Add lukewarm water, gradually and make a soft dough similar to that of poori dough. Divide into equal sized small balls.

Roll out each ball into small lemon sized balls. Press it between palms.Dust the rolling board and rolling pin using the same all purpose powder used for making pathiri dough. Roll the flattened balls using chapathi roller until you get thin round roti/pathiri; just like you make the pooris.

  At the same time marinate chicken with salt chillypowder, pepper powder, turmeric powder and chicken masala.and cook .and let them cool.when its cool..shread it to small pieces.

Heat oil in a pan, and saute finely chopped onions, 2 green chilies and little salt.Add chopped curry leaves.Continue to saute it for couple of minutes.Now add shredded meat and garam masala  and cook for 5-7 mins on medium high heat till everything is combined well and looks dry. Taste and adjust the salt and spice level. Remove from fire and let it cool.

Spread the meat filling 11/2 to 2 tbsp on a rolled out pathiri /roti, leaving good 1/2 inch from both the sides. (Note : Don't over stuff the pathiris, otherwise it will break while frying.)

Place another rolled out pathiri on top of this and press together the edges. Seal the edges by pressing with your fingers or folding a small portion of the edges of the bottom roti towards top and closing it; while folding the edges just shake the pathiri in between. This prevents from sticking to the surface or you can use fork to seal the edges to form a pattern.Repeat the same process till all pathiri is done.

Heat oil for deep frying in a pan. When it is medium hot, add stuffed pathiris one by one and deep fry on each side for about 2-3 minutes it till it turns brown.
