- 1-1/2 cups Fresh coconut - grated
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
1
To begin making the Kerala Rice Puttu, wash and soak the rice overnight or for about 8 hours.
2
Once the rice has soaked well sieve the liquid and spread the rice on a kitchen towel and arid it out.Allow the rice to arid for about 20 mins but ensure it retains a bit of the moisture, else the rice will not grind well in mixer-blender.Grind the rice till it is mildly coarse. Do not grind the rice too much as it may get lumpy. In a large mixing container, combine the powdered rice, seasoning and 1/2 cup of the grated coconut.

dust 4 tablespoons of liquid on to the rice mixture and mix gently to combine well with your fingers. The puttu mixture will be crumbly.

That's the consistency we want to make the Puttu.Keep the Puttu Rice toss together aside for 10-15 mins. Take a Puttu mould and place a 3 or 4 tablespoons of the prepared Puttu mixture and a 1 or 2 tablespoons of coconut in the centre and a few more tablespoons of the Puttu mixture on the top.

You will notice that after 5 to 6 mins the steam will start releasing from holes in the top of the mold.This is when you know that the puttu is getting steamed from the inside.

In total the Puttu is steaming for a good 10 mins.Once done, turn off the bring to temperature.
10
