Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sathumavu (multigrain health mix)
- 0.5 cup Grated coconut
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 1 tablespoon Stevia or Erythritol (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Sathumavu with 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually add 0.5 cup of water, a little at a time. Use your fingertips to mix the flour and water to form a crumbly texture. The mixture should be moist but not soggy.
Test the consistency by taking a small amount of mixture in your hand and pressing it. It should hold its shape without crumbling.
If using, mix 1 tablespoon of Stevia or Erythritol gently into the flour mixture at this stage.
Layer 2 tablespoons of grated coconut at the bottom of the puttu steamer (puttu kutti) and then add 3-4 tablespoons of the flour mixture.
Repeat the layering process with grated coconut and flour mixture until the puttu steamer is filled, finishing with a layer of grated coconut.
Cover the puttu steamer with its lid and place it over the boiling water in the base vessel (puttu kudam).
Steam for about 10-15 minutes, or until you see steam escaping from the top vents of the puttu steamer.
Remove the puttu steamer from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Push the puttu out gently onto a serving plate using a small spatula or the back end of a spoon.
Sprinkle 0.25 teaspoon of cardamom powder over the puttu for extra flavor.
Serve warm, accompanied with coconut milk, or enjoy as is for a nutritious, sugar-free breakfast.
