Ingredients

• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Ghee - 1 tablespoon
• Roasted Rice Flour - 1 Cup
• Grated coconut - for layering
• Water - 1/3 Cup

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the roasted rice flour and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
2. Slowly add water, a little at a time, while mixing with your fingers. The dough should come together into a crumbly texture, but not too wet or sticky. The consistency should be like damp sand—moist enough to hold its shape when pressed, but not soggy. You may need slightly more or less than the 1/3 cup depending on the flour.
3. Grease the inside of your puttu maker with a little ghee (optional). Start by layering grated coconut at the bottom of the cylinder. This gives a nice flavor and texture to the puttu.
4. Begin layering the rice flour mixture and coconut alternately in the puttu maker. The top layer should be rice flour, and ensure there are no air pockets in between the layers.
5. Place the filled puttu maker in a steamer or a pot with boiling water. Cover and steam for 8-10 minutes. You will know it’s done when you can smell the rice and the puttu has firmed up.
6. Carefully remove the puttu from the steamer. Serve hot with coconut milk, curry, or even sugar, depending on your preference.
7. Enjoy your perfect Puttu!
