About Puttu
Puttu is a traditional steamed dish originating from South Indian and Sri Lankan cuisine. It is primarily made with rice flour, layered with grated coconut, and steamed in cylindrical molds. Known for its simplicity, puttu is often paired with side dishes like banana, jaggery, or spicy curries. Its preparation involves minimal oil, making it a healthy, low-fat option. The dish is gluten-free, rich in carbohydrates, and provides dietary fiber from the rice and coconut, aiding digestion. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on accompaniments; pairing it with high-fat or sugary sides may add extra calories. Puttu is versatile and can be adapted using alternative flours like millet or wheat, enhancing its nutrient content. Celebrated for its wholesome and balanced nature, puttu is a favored breakfast choice across generations, appreciated as both a satisfying and nourishing meal.
