Method

Making Pathiris (Chappatis)

Slightly heat the vegetable oil and add it to the flour and blend in well
To this add milk and then required salt and water and make it to a smooth chappati dough
Cover it with a wet cloth and keep the dough aside for 40 to 45 minutes
Then make it to 10 equal portions and make chappatis out of it
Make sure that the chapatis are almost of the same size and it should be thin
Cook the chapatis and keep it aside.  Do not make it too stiff.  Just a  slight cooking is enough.


Making the filling

Beat 5 eggs mentioned in the second set of ingredients adding salt and 1/2 tea spoon pepper powder
Pour 1 table spoon oil to a pan and slightly fry the cashew nuts and poppy seeds and keep aside
To the same pan pour the egg  mix and scramble it well.
Cook chicken adding salt and 1/2 tea spoon pepper powder and remove the bones (You can prefer cooking boneless chicken pieces)

To another pan pour a little oil and add crushed ginger, garlic and green chillies and saute for some time
now add chopped onion and saute till the onion cooks well
To this add red chilly powder, turmeric powder, chicken masala and salt if required and saute well
Now add the chicken, scrambled egg and corriader leaves and mix.
Divide it to 9 equal portions

Making the coating

Beat 4 eggs mentioned in the third set of ingredients adding a pinch of salt

Layering

Take a heavy bottomed wide and deep vessel.  Good if you use a  flat bottomed vessel.
Pour a little ghee
Place a chapati on top of it.  This is the first layer, on top of it add some  chicken mixture and pour a little egg coating mixture
Dip the second chapati in the egg coating mixture and place it.
Again put some chicken mix,  pour a little egg coating mixture
Repeat the same process with the rest of the chapatis.
Add a little ghee in between the layers
The top layer will be the chapati, now pour the rest of the egg coating mixture, and sprinkle the fried cashew nuts and poppy seeds. (If you feel the egg coating mixture was not sufficient, take 1 or 2 more eggs, add salt and use the same.  But make sure the top layer should be covered with egg coating)
Close the lid of the pan and cook in very low flame.  Make sure that the lid of the pan is intact.
When one side is cooked (approx. 6 to 8 minutes) carefully turn it over and cook the other side
