          This is a very common breakfast item in Kerala. Its made of rice flour, Wheat flour etc. 

Ingredients:

1. Rice flour
2. Grated coconut
3. Salt to taste

Procedure:
      
          Firstly take a pan and roast the Rice flour for sometime. Keep on stiring in between, otherwise it will get burned. After heating the flour for few minutes keep it aside to cool down. Now take a bowl put the flour into it, add salt and then sprinkle water on the rice flour to make it wet. Keep mixing continously , so that we can make lumps of it but it should not change into a dough.

          Next take the Puttu kutti and the Kudam/ cooker without whistle. Take the Puttu kutti add little coconut first then fill the rice mixture and again add little coconut on top. Take the cooker add some water into it and allow it to be hot. Close the cooker lid and keep the Puttu kutti on top of the cooker ie place where whistle is kept.
