Rice flour puttu is a very traditional puttu made in Southern India, especially in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Rice flour for puttu is usually prepared in the house.

 Method

Dry roast the rice flour on low flame, keep stirring continuously to avoid burning of flour. Roast for about 5 -7 minutes and switch off the stove. Remove the flour from the stove.

The flour will be very hot, stir the flour so it cools down faster.

Now add the flour to the wide mixing bowl, add the salt and mix well.

Sprinkle about one tbsp of water mix the rice flour with hand. 

Add water little by little and mix thoroughly until you are able to form balls from the flour mixture. But the balls should break easily. Now the flour is ready to be steamed.

 Now cut a clean cloth (cotton) for your Idli plate, cut a hole in the middle so that the cloth slides through the idli stand on to the plate.

[Use only clean, washed cloth and keep it only for steaming purpose. I think you will remember the days when our mothers used cloth for idli plates to make idli’s]

Now wet and squeeze the cloth and place it on the idli plate. Then spread the rice flour mixture on the idli plate as shown in the photo. Now steam it in idli cooker for 15 to 20 min.

After it is cooked, transfer the cooked rice flour mixture to the bowl. 

Then add cardamom powder, grated coconut, sugar, gingelly oil and mix really good with hand. Now, yummy rice puttu is ready to be served.

Note:

If you think rice puttu is dry after cooking, just sprinkle little hot water or hot milk and mix it well.
I have used gingelly oil, you can replace it with ghee for added flavor and taste.
When steaming the rice flour mixture, see to that they are loosely packed.

Super delicious and healthy Rice flour puttu is ready to be enjoyed. Serve it with hot milk and bananas.
