Ingredients

  • Rice flour
  • Coconut grated
  • Salt
  • Water

Instructions

  • In a heavy skillet, dry roast the rice flour over medium heat, stirring continuously. After about 5 minutes remove from the stove, and let it cool. Add salt to 1 cup of water and wet the puttu podi, a little at a time, and mix well till you get consistency. Now fill your pressure cooker with water till two thirds full. Place on the stove. Take the cylindrical tube part, insert the flat disk with holes at the bottom of the tube. Fill half of the tube with a fistful full of grated coconut and then add the prepared rice flour till half and fill the rest of the tube with more prepared rice and sprinkle grated coconut on the top. Cover the cylinder tube and place on the cooker spout once the steam starts coming out. Steam for 6 to 8 minutes; when the puttu is cooked, steam will start coming through the holes on the lid. Remove the tube from the pot and open the lid. Using the handle of a large spoon, slowly push the puttu, and slide it onto a plate. Serve hot.
