Puttu

Ingredients:- 

Rice Flour
Salt
Water
Grated Coonut

Method:-

- Mix together salt and required amount of water.
- Sprinkle this water slowly over the rice flour and mix well.
- Continue this till the flour turns soft and smooth.
- Do not use too much water. (The perfect stage to stop the process is to take a handful of wet flour in the hand, just press it and open the fist. If the flour remains as a solid chunk without breaking or splitting apart, you can stop the process).
- Add the flour into the puttu maker by adding grated coconut in top and bottom.
- Place this on top of the puttu maker or pressure cooker. Cook this on steam.
- Serve hot.
