Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed millet flour (Sathumavu)
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Grated coconut
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of mixed millet flour with 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually add 1 cup of water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously with your fingers to moisten the flour. The consistency should be crumbly yet slightly wet. When clumping the flour between your fingers, it should hold shape but easily crumble when disturbed.
Allow the moistened flour to rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the steamer or puttu maker by boiling water in the base section.
Layer 2 tablespoons of grated coconut at the bottom of the puttu tube or steaming bowl.
Gently fill the tube or bowl with two to three handfuls of the moistened millet flour mixture, followed by another layer of grated coconut. Repeat the layering process until the puttu tube is full, ending with a coconut layer.
Place the filled tube on the steamer and steam for about 8-10 minutes or until you notice steam escaping from the top of the puttu maker.
Carefully remove the puttu from the steamer and allow it to cool for a minute.
Push the puttu out onto a serving plate using a thin rod or the puttu maker's pusher.
Serve warm with side dishes such as banana, jaggery, or curry if desired.
