Puttu / Steam cake

Ingredients :

Puttu powder / Rice flour - 2 Cup
Fresh Grated Coconut - 1 Cup
Salt - As Required
Water - As required

Method :

Mix powder in a bowl, add salt and add water little by little and mix well.The flour should be wet enough for steaming. If you are using rice flour, it is better if you can just warm it for a while in a low flame. Dont let the colour change. If you are using puttu powder,then no need to warm. Be careful while adding water - Add little by little to get the correct consistency.
Keep your puttu maker ready, now layer it with coconut and the flour mix. First layer it with some coconut, then puttu powder, then coconut again and so on.The last and the first layer will be coconut. Steam it for 5 - 8 mins on top of the cooker or the regular puttu maker.
When done serve hot with kadala curry or steamed plantains or mutton/ chicken curry or anything else. It tastes just good with most of the curries.

Note: After cooking it, if you let the vessel stand and cool for a few minutes, the Puttu will come out clean - Inbroken.
