👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the roasted rice flour with salt; gradually sprinkle water over the flour mixture, mixing with your fingertips until it forms a crumbly, moist consistency.
2. If lumps form, gently break them up with your fingers or pass the mixture through a sieve to ensure a fine, even texture.
3. Prepare a puttu maker by adding water to the bottom chamber and bringing it to a boil.
4. Layer the puttu maker cylindrical mold: first a spoonful of grated coconut, then a layer of the prepared rice flour mixture, alternating until the mold is full, ending with coconut on top.
5. Place the filled mold on top of the puttu maker and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until steam emerges from the top hole indicating it's cooked through.
6. Carefully remove the puttu from the mold using a thin rod (often provided with the puttu maker) and serve hot with curries like Kadala curry or with banana and sugar/jaggery.
