Ingredients
- 1 and ½ cups coarse rice flour puttu podi or powder
- 1 cup grated coconut
- Salt to taste
- Water
Instructions
- Place rice flour in a bowl. Season with salt. Add water little by little to moisten the flour. Using your fingertips, mix the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. The mixture should be wet but not lumpy. To test the ideal consistency, grab a handful of flour and press it. The mixture has to hold the shape but crumble easily. Set aside.
- Heat water in the pot or pressure cooker. Add 2 tablespoon grated coconut to the cylindrical container called “puttu kutti”. Add about ¼ cup flour followed by 2 tablespoon grated coconut. Repeat the layers till the top of the cylindrical container. Close with lid. Place it over boiling water.
- Cook for 7-8 minutes. Using a long stick, push puttu out of the cylindrical container.
