Puttu (Steamed Rice Cake)

PUTTU

Ingredients:

• Rice flour - 2 cups
• Grated coconut - 1 cup
• Water - 1/2 cup
• Salt to taste

Method :

• Add salt and approximately 3 table spoons of grated coconut into the flour and mix well.
• Add water little by little to the rice flour and mix it.
• The flour should be wet enough for steaming, but we have to be careful when you add water to the flour.
• The consistency has got to be right. It should not become too watery.
• Puttu has to be made in a Puttu maker.
• Layer the Puttu maker with some grated coconut first, then the rice mixture and then the grated coconut again. Steam for 2-3 minutes, take out and serve hot.

You can have Puttu with either Kadala Curry  or bananas.
