Ingredients
Rice flour-2cup
Grated Coconut 1 cup
Sallt -to taste
Water-
sually we are using cocounut shell(chiratta) to make puttu ..But nowadays coconut shell shaped mould with lid is available in the market .
The mould has a small hole in the bottom through which steam can pass to the rice flour.This hole in the bottom has to be attached to a pressure cooker..
Method
Mix the four with 1/2 of the grated coconut ..Then mix the salt in water .. Add the water little by little to the flour and mix well..The mixing should be proper so tht the flour should not be turn dough form.It should be in the powdered form only but wet enough for steaming..
now fill the mould ..First add 1 tsp of grated coconut into it ..Now fill the mould with puttu mix and close the lid.
Heat the pressure cooker after filling 2/3 of it with water ..Take the weight out from the cooker and place the mould to the cooker just after the steam is released.
Now allow it to cook in steam for 5 mins..When u see steam coming out from the small holes of the lid then remove the mould frm the cooker..And transfer it to a serving plate …
Puttu can be prepared with ragi,wheat or almost all grains of ur choice.
.Serve it with ..Varathu Aracha Kadala Curry!!!
