Ingredients
- 1 cup Sathumavu flour (multigrain flour)
- 0.5 cup Grated fresh coconut
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the sathumavu flour and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the salt.
Step 2
Gradually add water to the flour mixture while continuously stirring with your hands to form a moist yet crumbly texture. The dough should hold its shape when pressed but should break apart easily.
Step 3
To test the correct consistency, hold some of the mixture in your palm and form it into a fist. It should hold its shape without crumbling.
Step 4
Prepare a traditional puttu maker by adding water to the base compartment. Heat the water until it starts to boil.
Step 5
Meanwhile, in the puttu tube, begin by adding 2 tablespoons of grated coconut at the bottom.
Step 6
Fill the tube with the moistened flour mixture up to halfway, ensuring not to pack it down tightly.
Step 7
Add another layer of grated coconut (2 tablespoons), followed by more flour mixture, leaving some space at the top.
Step 8
Top with the remaining grated coconut. This layering helps in the steaming process and adds flavor.
Step 9
Attach the tube to the puttu maker's base and allow the mixture to steam for about 10-12 minutes, or until you see steam coming through the top of the tube.
Step 10
Once cooked, carefully detach the tube and push the puttu out onto a serving plate using a spatula or wooden dowel.
Step 11
Serve warm with banana or a side of kadala curry for a wholesome breakfast.
