Step 1

As I have mentioned above, you can make this puttu with corn puttu flour, broken corn or cornmeal. The cornmeal and corn puttu flour is usually in the correct texture If you are using broken corn available from shop, you need to grind it in a mixie to make it little finer before making puttu.

Step 2

In a large wide vessel, take maize puttu flour (or cornmeal or broken corn). To this add salt and some water.

Step 3

Mix with hand and add water bit by bit when continuing to mix. Be careful not to add too much water, as it will change the consistency of the flour.

Step 4

It has to be made in a way that there should not be any lumps. When you take it in your fist, it should retain the shape of your fist and should not break down.The flour consistency is the key factor in making puttu, so give more care when making the flour. Sprinkle some grated coconut if you need more taste. This step is purely optional.

Step 5

In the puttu kudam (bottom portion of puttu maker), add water about half of its volume and keep it in stove and switch on it.

Step 6

Meanwhile, in the cylinder shaped portion of puttu maker, put the perforated disc at the bottom. Fill it with one layer of grated coconut, then add about 5 to 6 layers of prepared flour.

Step 7

Continue filling the entire height of puttu vessel with flour(5-6 layers) and coconut (1 layer), till it reaches the top. Then cover it with a lid and place it on top of puttu kudam.

Step 8

Wait for few minutes for the steam to come out of the puttu vessel. Wait for another 2 to 3 minutes for the steam to come out properly, then switch off the stove and remove only the top cylinder shaped portion of the puttu maker.

Step 9

In a plate, put the puttu by pressing it from backwards using a stick or spoon.
