Wheat puttu

Puttu (steam cake) is a traditional breakfast of Kerala. If you are bored of chapati for dinner, try this puttu with chicken curry or moong dal curry.

Ingredients

1 cup=250ml

Wheat flour, 2 cups

Salt, 1 tsp

Water, ½ cup

Grated coconut, 12 tbs

Preparation:

• Take wheat flour in a wide bowl.
• Add water and salt little by little and mix with your hands until it becomes moistened. Try to roll into a ball and see if it holds. If it falls apart, continue to add water. If you have large lumps add a tablespoon of wheat flour and mix it, and pulse in a grinder twice. If your grinder is too small, do it in batches. Bear in mind that adding excess water makes it doughy.
• Bring water to boil in a puttu maker. First put two tablespoons of coconut in the cylinder and fill halfway with wheat flour. Repeat again and top off with coconut. Close with lid. 
• Once steamy, continue to cook for five minutes. Switch off the flame and carefully remove the cylinder from the pot. Push out the puttu into a plate with a rolling pin or any long ladle. Switch on flame and repeat. 
• Your puttu is ready. Enjoy with banana or desired curry.😋
