Ragi Puttu Recipe
puttu, my favorite is ragi puttu of all time..I love it more than my rice puttu and wheat flour puttu. But tapioca puttu is also my favorite. I make sure to include ragi in my families diet atleast once a week, i make either idiyappam, idli, crispy dosa.
Ragi when made into puttu taste so different and healthy. Love it so much. I can have it for breakfast. I always add some bananas into the puttu when i steam them because I love to mix puttu with sugar, steamed banana and ghee. Yummy it will be..So give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
Ingredients for Ragi Puttu Recipe
- Ragi Flour / Finger Millet Flour - 2 cup
- Sugar - 2 tbsp

How to make Ragi Puttu Recipe
- Take ragi flour in a large mixing bowl. Add in salt, sugar and mix well.
- Now add in water slowly and mix well with your hands. This will form into crumbs.
- The crumbs should not be dry, it should form into a tight ball when you hold it and it should crumble when you drop it.
- Now take your puttu making gadget. I used cup puttu gadget.
- Fill water in the pressure cooker and heat it up.
- Drop the holed disc inside the cup. Now start layering the funnel.
- First add some coconut in the bottom, followed by the puttu mixture, then top some sliced banana.
- Place the cup over the pressure cooker. Cook this for 7 to 10 mins till the puttu is cooked.
- Now flip the puttu cup and Serve this puttu hot with banana and sugar.
- For making Puttu without Puttu funnel:
- If you don't have puttu funnel to make this.Follow the step till the puttu making mixture and Mix coconut into the puttu mixture. Take a clean cloth and pour the puttu mixture in it and cover it. Place this inside a steamer and steam it. The puttu wont be in traditional shape but it still taste the same.

is chemba puttu rice
brown rice or is it red rice?
is there a specific name for this rice variety like it's not a type of matta rice or samba rice?
do you make your own puttu flour?
Aarthi

Even i love puttu very much.you can use idly pot for making puttu,place a cloth spread the puttu flour make sure not to press as u need some loose airation fr cooking puttu.and close the lid tightly.if u are using microwave use microwave idly maker or rice cooker also

Hello,
I used roasted Ragi flour. But my puttu was still very powdery and not firm when I took it out. The puttu did not take the shape of the puttu mould and it broke into pieces. Do you know what could be the reason for that?
I ate it and the ragi puttu was powdery but did not have a raw taste/smell. but it was not like puttu. Do you think I did not add enough water?
Thanks,
Sucheta.
Aarthi
@Anonymousthere is no enough liquid in this and also it is not steamed enough
