In ancient times we used to put a hole in the coconut shell and make puttu. Now no such strain. We get ready stainless steel mould for this in the market. Instead of buying puttu powder we can make powder for our self, which will be fresh and harmless. If you do not find time you can use the puttu powder you get in the market.
Ingredients:-
Par-boiled rice/Ponni rice - 1 cup
Grated coconut - ½ cup
Salt to taste
Method:-
Wash and soak the rice overnight. Drain the water and grind it in a mixer grinder to a nice but little coarse powder. Add salt to this rice powder and mix well. Add ¼ cup of coconut to it and mix well. In a pressure cooker take 2 cups of water and close the cooker and heat the cooker in a stove. In a Chiratta puttu maker(this we get in the market) put one tea spoon coconut and fill it with rice powder and top it with one teaspoon of coconut and press it gently and keep it on the vend of the cooker and close it with the lid. When steam starts coming out of the puttu take it and transfer to a plate. Repeat the same with the remaining rice powder. Serve hot with Kadala curry.
