Puttu is believed to be the most healthiest breakfast in Kerala as it is steam cooked..
There are many varieties of puttu and these are the few that I have tried using wheat flour, with carrot filling and also with Rice. You can also try this with Ragi flour, bajra flour etc. And for the filling you can add fruits and vegetables instead of coconut
Method:
Wheat flour /atta flour/ragi flour -3 atta scoops
grated coconut -1 cup( can add chopped vegetables or chopped fruits too)
Sprinkle some salt on the flour and mix well. The softness and taste of puttu lies in the way you prepare the powder for it.
You have to sprinkle water on the flour every time and mix till it is fully wet but at the same time not sticky and remain powdery.
Add 1/2 cup coconut also to this as it adds on nice taste.
Fill in the mould with 1 tbsp of grated coconut first and then this is followed by wet puttu powder added till half of the mould , then again add 1 tbsp coconut followed by powder. Fill in this proportion till the mould is completely filled. Steam cook and serve with ripe bananas or chana masala.
