Puttu Kadala

Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Rice flour (This is premium rice powder known as Puttu podi by product name Nirapara puttu podi.)
• 0.25 cup Water (Water should be warm, not hot.)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 as needed Scraped coconut (Used for layering in the puttu vessel.)

Instructions

1. 1Sprinkle warm water over the Nirapara rice flour. Add salt and mix lightly with your hands. Allow the mixture to soak for 15-20 minutes, ensuring the rice flour is just moistened and not soaked.
2. 2Fill the bottom vessel of the puttu maker halfway with water and place it on the stove to bring to a boil.
3. 3Place a layer of scraped coconut at the bottom of the tube section of the puttu vessel, followed by a layer of the rice flour mixture. Repeat the layers, ensuring the top and bottom layers are coconut. Secure the tube with a lid.
4. 4Attach the tube section to the bottom vessel with boiling water and steam for 10-15 minutes until the puttu is cooked through.
5. 5Remove the puttu from the vessel and serve hot with kadala curry, banana, or sugar as desired.
