COCONUT MILK PUTTU

Puttu is a steamed cake traditionally made of wet coarsely ground rice flour mixed with grated coconut, salt  and spiced with cumin seeds. Another  variation  to the puttu, I have given for this is instead of water I have added coconut milk to mix the puttu powder. And that this puttu is also steamed in coconut shell.

Coconut shell is one of the most eco-friendly one and it  imparts Natural taste and smell to the puttu.    

                                                                                                                        

 First, take an empty coconut shell, the part which has eyes, scrape off the inside remains with a spoon, rise in water. There are three eyes in the coconut, poke the flimsy eye with your finger or with a spoon.
