Puttu is a traditional South Indian breakfast dish made with rice flour and coconut. It is a steamed cylindrical cake that is light and fluffy in texture. The rice flour is mixed with grated coconut and water to form a crumbly mixture, which is then steamed in a special cylindrical vessel called a puttu maker. Puttu is typically served with kadala curry (black chickpea curry) or banana and sugar. It is a popular and nutritious breakfast option in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
