Puttu is a steamed cake traditionally made of wet
rice flour. But I have prepared with home made multigrain flour /
sathumaavu to make it more healthy and nutritious. Use coarsely ground
flour to make puttu.You need a special vessel called puttu kutti for
making it. A best breakfast for weight watchers, with full of fibre and
protein.
INGREDIENTS
Multigrain powder -
2 cups
Grated coconut -
1 cup

METHOD
Mix flour, cumin seeds, sugar, salt, half of the coconut and sprinkle water in smaller
quantities and mix well.
The right consistency of the flour is, when you press a handful
of flour and drop , it will become Powder again.
In a puttu maker fill ¾ part of the puttu vessel with water and
allow it to boil.
Meanwhile fill the puttu kuzhal with puttu flour and coconut
gratings alternatively.(fill ¼ part of puttu kuzhal with coconut gratings
first, fill the next quarter with puttu flour).Complete the procedure till you
fill the puttu kuzhal almost fully leaving one inch space above.
Fix this puttu kuzhal over the boiling water and steam for about
15 to 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes remove the puttu kuzhal from flame.
Gently push the cooked puttu with the ladle, from one end of the puttu kuzhal on to a plate.
It will
come into the shape of bamboo.
Yummy nutritious multigrain puttu / sathumaavu puttu is reday to serve.

NOTE
Once you mix the flour, let it rest for 20 minutes.puttu will be
softer.
When you mix the flour, just whip the wet flour in a mixer or in
a food processor to remove all lumps.
