    How to make Kappa Puttu

    Remove the skin of the tapioca and wash it well. Using a grater, grate the tapioca fully.

    Once it is grated fully. Squeeze the grated tapioca and remove the excess water. Alternatively you can use a muslin cloth and remove the water as much as possible.

    Now in a puttu steamer layer the puttu and coconut in alternative layers. Now steam cook for 10 mins. Once done switch off the stove and remove the puttu from the puttu steamer. Serve hot with sugar and jaggery powder.

    This is how we steam cook the puttu.

      I have never made puttu though I have tasted it. This tapioca one seems to be a nice variation.
