Details and Ingredients

Puttu is a beloved Kerala dish made from coarsely ground rice flour, steamed to perfection in cylindrical molds with layers of freshly grated coconut. This vegetarian delight is seasoned with a pinch of salt, giving it a subtle yet satisfying flavor. The steaming process creates a soft, fluffy texture that pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of coconut. A staple in Kerala households, Puttu is traditionally enjoyed as a breakfast item or snack, often served with kadala curry, banana, or even a dollop of ghee. Simple, wholesome, and authentic, Puttu embodies the essence of Kerala’s culinary heritage.
