    Puttu Recipe

    This is one of the best combination to eat puttu, if you have not tried this yet please give it a try. Puttu is one of the famous keralan dish. They usually have puttu with fish curry or kadala curry. I have posted ragi puttu, wheat puttu, tapioca puttu.

    I used a typical puttu kolal for this, but if you don’t have that you could use a small bowl and put the coconut and flour mixture in layers and steam it, it will still come out great. But the only thing is you wont get the traditional shape for it. I hope you all will give this a try and let me know what you think.

    Ingredients for Rice Puttu

    • Store Bought Rice Flour / Arisi Mavu - 3 cups
    • Salt to taste
    • Sugar-3 tblspn
    • Fresh Coconut - 1 cup grated

    Serving Suggestions with Puttu

    • Green gram / Pacha Payaru - 1 cup cooked with some salt
    • Papadum deep fried in oil
    • Banana-1
    • Sugar-1 tblspn
    • Ghee-1 tsp

    How to Make Rice Puttu

    4. Place this in the steamer or the vessel where we will put this puttu kolal and cook for 10 min.Now slowly remove it by pushing the puttu kolal with a spoon from the bottom.
