HEALTHY WHEAT PUTTU
HEALTHY WHEAT PUTTU / GOTHAMBU PUTTU
(Wheat flour steamed with layers of grated coconut in cylindrical shape)
Puttu is basically a steamed rice flour and coconut log.
Puttu is a breakfast dish eaten in the South Indian states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and parts of Karnataka, as well as Sri Lanka. Puttu means “portioned” in Malayalam. It is made of steamed cylinders of ground rice layered with coconut shavings, sometimes with a sweet or savory filling on the inside. Puttu is served hot with sweet side dishes such as palm sugar or banana, or with curries such as dal, chickpea, mutton, fish or chicken. In Bhatkal, puttu is served with side dishes such as ghee and sugar or Paya.
Puttu is a popular breakfast in Kerala, served either with Kadala Curry or just some sugar and bananas.
Usually it is made with rice flour mixed with coconut , but instead of rice flour we can use other millets flour also like ragi / jowar / bajra / wheat /red rice etc

HOW TO MAKE WHEAT PUTTU FLOUR AT HOME –
Dry roast wheat rava [Daliya ] in a pan for few minutes until it slightly changes colour. Allow it to cool and add it to blender. Grind into coarse powder.
OR
Dry roast regular chapati wheat flour on low flame until the flour releases a pleasant aroma. Take off the heat before the flour starts browning.
PREPARING THE FLOUR MIXTURE –
Take the flour + ghee + salt in a wide plate.
Sprinkle the water little by little and start mixing the flour .
Remember we don’t have to knead the dough .
Keep sprinkling and mixing till the mixture becomes crumbly like bread crumbs.
TEST – If you close your hand with flour in your palm, it should hold its shape.
There should be no big lumps .If the mixture is too dry then sprinkle little more water .
Cover and let the mixture rest for 10 min .
Now blend this mixture in mixie for few seconds .
ASSEMBLING PUTTU FLOUR IN PUTTU MAKER AND STEAMING .
Keep 2 – 3 cup of water to boil in the puttu pot
Take puttu maker.
Place perforated plate in the bottom.
First spoon 2 or 3 tbsp of grated coconut. Then fill it with the prepared puttu flour about ½ the puttu maker – roughly 8 to 10 tbsp flour .
Again 3 tbsp coconut and puttu flour and finish with coconut layer and cover with the lid .
VERY IMPORTANT – Do not press or shake puttu maker while layering the flour and coconut . Just add it and leave it naturally.It should be a loose layer to allow steam to pass and cook .
Attach the puttu maker to the pot.
Steam for 6-8 mins on medium – high flame.
Let the steam be forcefull enough to pass through the puttu maker . Do not steam in low flame.
You will see steam coming from top holes of the puttu maker lid .
Turn off heat and let is rest for 2 – 3 mins then gently push it with a wooden laddle or the skewer such that the puttu comes out clean.
