About Wheat puttu

Wheat Puttu is a wholesome, steamed dish originating from South Indian cuisine, celebrated for its simplicity and nutritional value. Prepared with whole wheat flour, grated coconut, and water, this traditional delicacy is a healthier alternative to rice-based puttu, offering higher dietary fiber and essential nutrients. Rich in complex carbohydrates, it provides sustained energy while being easy to digest. The inclusion of coconut adds a natural sweetness and healthy fats, though moderation is advised for those monitoring fat intake. Typically paired with curries, bananas, or lentil-based dishes, Wheat Puttu forms a balanced meal with proteins and vitamins. Its steamed preparation ensures minimal oil usage, making it a low-calorie option for health-conscious individuals. Versatile and satisfying, Wheat Puttu showcases the perfect blend of taste and nutrition, rooted in the culinary traditions of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
