    Notes

    •    If you don’t have a puttu maker, you can also use the crumbled flour directly and steam cook in an idli cooker. Otherwise try getting a Chiratta Puttu Maker, It is easily available online.
    •    Puttu can be served with Coconut, Banana and Sugar .In Kerala It is usually served with Kadala Curry.
    •  Perfect for a filling breakfast.
    •  You can also make kolukattai (Dumplings) out of the puttu flour and steam cook. My mom usually does this way as it will be really easy if we are running out of time.
