Rice Puttu is a traditional steamed breakfast dish originating from the South Indian cuisine, particularly Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It is made by layering rice flour moistened with water and a pinch of salt, followed by shredded coconut, inside a cylindrical mold or Puttu maker, and steaming until fluffy. This minimal oil preparation method enhances its nutritional profile, making it a low-fat, gluten-free dish rich in complex carbohydrates and fiber due to the rice and coconut content. The natural flavor and mild sweetness of the coconut add a wholesome touch without additional sugar. Puttu is often paired with kadala curry (black chickpea curry), adding plant-based protein for a balanced meal. While it is generally healthy, moderation is advised for individuals mindful of carbohydrate intake. Its versatility, simplicity, and nutrient-rich properties make it a cherished staple in Indian households.
