Wheat puttu

    During my weekends always I used to try different dish for breakfast since bored up with normal Idly, dosa, chappathi, puri, pongal. One of my friends told that they had wheat puttu for breakfast in their home. At that time I enquired, how she make it, using normal wheat flour or any special flour. She told normal wheat flour only. I learned this recipe from her and posting it here. Even in my first try I came out so well. It is very tasty and my kids loved it very much

Ingredients (serves 3 )

 

Wheat flour - 2 1/4 cup

Boling water - 1 cup

Salt

Grated coconut - 1/4 cup

 

Method

 

The secret of making perfect puttu lies in way we mix water and flour. With little patience have to do it.

Sieve the wheat flour and salt together. Sprinkle water (very little) on the flour and mix it gently. Please note, wheat tends to form a dough easily with water so do not pour water only sprinkle little by little. The flour should be wet enough for steaming. Put wet flour in the mixie ( small cup) and pulse it just for a second. It'll help the small lumps to break apart and form a nice wet powdery texture . Now mix half of the coconut to the flour and mix it. put two teaspoon of grated coconut in the puttu maker and then add the flour mix till half, then add another two teaspoon of coconut and the flour mix and top it with two teaspoon of coconut. Steam it and serve hot with a dash of sugar on top. It will be so yummy. Can serve with Banana, sugar or with kadala curry.

 Keep this puttu in hotspot always, since wheat may sometimes become hard and lose itse freshness and texture when become cool.

If u don't have kuzha puttu maker in your home, you can steam puttu in idly maker.
