In a pressure cooker, add 2-3 cups of water, close the lid, and place the puttu maker on top. When the steam starts coming out of the puttu maker, let it cook further 2-3 minutes and it will be done.

  1. This is a yummy dish…very popular in Kerala.
    Being steamed and prepared without oil puts the 'puttu' in the list of healthy, non-fat dishes. I think 'puttu' is unique to Kerala. As mentioned,there are many variations to this dish; some prepare it with Ragi that makes it very nutritious. Usually 'puttu' is prepared with rice powder.
    Good post 🙂
