Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sathumavu flour (multigrain flour)
- 0.5 cup Grated fresh coconut
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the sathumavu flour and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the salt.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture while continuously stirring with your hands to form a moist yet crumbly texture. The dough should hold its shape when pressed but should break apart easily.
To test the correct consistency, hold some of the mixture in your palm and form it into a fist. It should hold its shape without crumbling.
Prepare a traditional puttu maker by adding water to the base compartment. Heat the water until it starts to boil.
Meanwhile, in the puttu tube, begin by adding 2 tablespoons of grated coconut at the bottom.
Fill the tube with the moistened flour mixture up to halfway, ensuring not to pack it down tightly.
Add another layer of grated coconut (2 tablespoons), followed by more flour mixture, leaving some space at the top.
Top with the remaining grated coconut. This layering helps in the steaming process and adds flavor.
Attach the tube to the puttu maker's base and allow the mixture to steam for about 10-12 minutes, or until you see steam coming through the top of the tube.
Once cooked, carefully detach the tube and push the puttu out onto a serving plate using a spatula or wooden dowel.
Serve warm with banana or a side of kadala curry for a wholesome breakfast.
