    rice flour and coconut. Puttu is usually served with kadala curry or it is
    served with pazham (small yellow banana)and sugar. Puttu, Cherupayaru

    way. Puttu is generally cooked in a puttu kutti vessel with two sections. The
    lower section holds water and the upper section (a cylindrical tube)holds the
    puttu where the rice mixture is inserted with layers of grated coconut.
    Perforated lids separate the sections to allow the steam to pass between
    them.(wiki). Today we will learn how to make Kerala Rice puttu following this
    easy recipe.

    Puttu Recipe-Kerala Rice Puttu

    Prep Time:15 Mins| Cook Time:15 Mins| Serves:4


    Ingredients needed
    Puttu flour- 2 cups
    Grated coconut- as needed
    Water -appoximately 1 cup
    Salt needed
    Puttu maker/idly steamer
    How to make Puttu flour
    Buy raw rice specially sold for making puttu also called puttu arisi. Wash and soak rice for 4-5
    hours.Wash again and drain the water completely. Spread it on a cloth for 20-25 minutes. Then
    get it ground in the flour mill when it is slightly wet. Then fry the flour on medium heat until it
    reaches a sandy consistency. Spread it to cool and then store in an airtight container. This is puttu
    mavu/puttu rice flour.
    Method
    Take 2 cups of puttu flour in a bowl. Add a little salt.
    Add water little at the time and mix well with your finger tips.When you take a handful of flour
    and press it between your fist, it should hold its shape, when you press it again a little harder, it
    should crumble. That is the right consistency.
    The flour should be crumbly and moist. There should be no lumps.You can blend it in a mixer for
    2-3 seconds using the whipper blade. Keep it aside for 15 minutes.

    How to fill the puttu kutty/puttu maker


    Layer the puttu kutty (cylindrical tube) first with a little grated coconut, then add 2 fistful of
    puttu flour.Then again add grated coconut followed by puttu flour.Repeat the same process until
    the mould/puttu kutty is full ending it with grated coconut.(see picture above)
    Now fill the puttu pot with water, cover the cylindrical tube with lid and fix it on the pot. Keep it
    on high flame. Once the water start boiling in the pot, you will see steam escaping from the holes
    on top of the cylindrical tube, reduce the flame and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
    When you get a nice flavor of steamed puttu, switch off, remove the cylindrical tube/puttu kutty
    from the pot, open it and gently push the puttu using a wooden ladle.
    Serve hot with kadala curry or payaru and pappadam or small yellow banana and sugar.
    You can make puttu without puttu maker also using a steamer or idly pan. Take an idly mould,
    start with a layer of grated coconut, the add puttu mixture. Layer it again with coconut and puttu
    flour. See to it that the final layer is grated coconut. Steam for 6-10 minutes or until the puttu is
    done.
