Recipe Ingredients

• Nirapara chakki atta - 2 cup
• Grated coconut - 1 cup
• Salt- as needed
• Water- as needed

Method Of Preparation

• Step 1

  Dry roast nirapara wheat flour over medium heat, stirring continuously. After about 5 minutes remove from the stove, and let it cool. Add salt to 1 cup of water and wet the nirapara gothambu puttu podi/powder, a little at a time, and mix well till you reach breadcrumbs consistency. (Note : The wheat flour mixture should be wet but not lumpy. The right consistency is reached when you press little flour in your fist and it forms a shape and does not crumble off.)

• Step 2

  Now pulse it a couple of times in a mixer or in a food processor.This will remove the lumps and you get a very soft puttu. Optional – Add little scraped coconut into the mixture and mix well. Now fill your pressure cooker or puttu kudam with water till two thirds full. Place on the stove. Take the cylindrical tube part or chiratta puttu kutti, insert the flat disk with holes at the bottom of the tube.

• Step 3

  Fill half of the tube with a fistful full of grated coconut and then add the prepared wheat flour till half and fill the rest of the tube with more prepared wheat mixture and sprinkle grated coconut on the top. (Note: The wheat flour must be loosely filled and not packed.)

• Step 4

  Cover the cylinder tube or chiratta puttu kutti and place on the cooker spout or on puttu kudam once the steam starts coming out. Steam for 6-8 minutes; when the puttu is cooked, steam will start coming through the holes on the lid. Remove the tube from the pot and open the lid. Using the handle of a large spoon, slowly push the puttu, and slide it onto a plate. Serve hot with kadala curry, papaddam and yellow small bananas and Enjoy!
