Puttu is a traditional dish from the southern part of India, particularly popular in the state of Kerala. It is made by steaming a mixture of rice flour and grated coconut, resulting in a soft, cylindrical shape. Puttu is often served with various accompaniments, such as banana, sugar, or curry. This dish is not only a staple breakfast item but also enjoyed as a snack or light meal throughout the day. The preparation involves layering the rice flour and coconut in a special vessel called a puttu maker, which allows the steam to cook the mixture evenly, enhancing its flavor and texture.
