Kerala Homemade Rice Puttu For Breakfast Recipe

A timeless culinary treasure from the kitchens of kerala, puttu is one of the healthiest breakfasts you can think of Made of steamed rice flour and grated coconut, puttu has a unique taste and texture, which comes from the special container that it is steamed in. Traditionally, puttu was steamed in coconut shells but now stainless steel puttu steamers are readily available in shops. Puttu can be made in a cup shape or cylindrical shape depending on the container used to steam it. You just need to make sure that you do not press the flour-mix tightly in the container, but just fill it loosely. If you pack it tightly, there will be no space for air to expand inside the flour and you will end up with hard puttu. Serve the puttu immediately after preparation, with a sweet or savoury side-dish. It tastes great with just jaggery and bananas, or can be served with kadala curry.
