(Puttu Kadala Curry, Puttu Payaru, Pittu)
1. If you dont get puttu flour, you can also make with raw rice flour. Dry roast the flour for few minutes. This step is optional but roasting brings out a nice nutty flavour and improves the taste of the puttu.
2. Take the roasted flour in a mixing bowl. Add the salt and 1/4 cup of grated coconut with the flour. Mix together.
3. Sprinkle water little by little while mixing the flour till the flour is moist.
4. The puttu flour should be crumbly (and not form a dough). It should be moist enough such that when you press the flour with your palms it should hold together.
5. In the mean time, boil the water in the lower vessel of the puttu stand.
6. In the upper cylinder, add half an inch of grated coconut as the bottom layer. Put two handfuls of the prepared puttu flour as the next layer.
7. Continue layering with grated coconut and puttu flour alternatively till you reach the top.
8. Cover and put the filled cylinder on the lower vessel so that the steam passes through and cooks the puttu.
9. Once you see the steam coming out of the lid of the upper vessel, the puttu is pretty much done. Let the steam come out for another minute or so and switch off.
