Puttu - Chemba

Chemba Puttu

Puttu is an usual breakfast item in Kerala. Even though Puttu is married to Kadala Curry, he is seen with banana, cherupayar curry, sugar and papadam also. But puttu is such a sweet boy, so we adjust with his behavior :-)
Whenever we are hungry and we call him, he reaches within 5 mins, but as you all know his wife takes time to dress, he brings any of his girlfriend for the time being. See didnt i tell you he is very sweet

Ingredients
Puttu Podi - 11/2 cup ( we use Avees puttu podi, they are the best)
Water - 11/4 cup
Salt
Grated coconut - 1 cup

Mix the puttu podi with salt and then mix with water slowly till you get this consistency. It should be between chapathi and powder .

I usually make cheratta puttu, the small one.

Add the coconut and the the
 puttu mixture and steam it
 for sometime





Once the steam starts to come out ( might take 3-4 mins to reach here), reduce the heat to medium - low and keep for 5 more mins
Test whether its cooked and serve once done





Note: please encourage him to be with his wife, you will see the difference :-)
She brings the best out of him
