Easy to make recipe for a Delicious South Indian Dish – Healthy Puttu with Pearl Millet
Wash the pearl millet and soak it for 2 to 3 hours. Drain the water and pat dry the millet, spreading it on a kitchen towel.
Take the millet in a mixie jar and grind it to fine flour. Transfer the flour to a wide vessel
Add salt with 1 cup of water and sprinkle it on the flour. Mix the flour well and steam it in an Idli cooker or any similar steamer for 5 minutes. Transfer it again to the vessel and mix it well.
Use the puttu maker and stuff the flour and the grated coconut alternately and steam it for 6 to 8 minutes. You will get a very nice aroma when it is cooked.
Puttu is now ready for serving.
Side dish: Serve the puttu with sugar and ghee. You can even use palm sugar instead of sugar. Coconut is already added in the puttu itself, but you can add some more coconut if preferred. Kadala curry will be another combination for puttu.
