Chemba Puttu

What you Need:
Rice flour                 : 4 cups
Water                      : 3 cups
Salt                          : 1/2 tea spoon
Grated Coconut        : 1 Cup.

Brown 'Chemba' Rice flour is the one I have used here. You can choose any rice flour yielding different tastes and appearance.

Preparation:

Take the flour in a large bowl. Mix water with salt.  Add 2 cups of water into it, slowly. Keep stirring the mixture in between. You can see flour turning its texture into something like bread crumbs. Leave the mixture for a minute. It would have absorbed all water and started to dry out.  (The water - flour ratio changes with the type of flour. So just be careful while adding water.)

If you have already pour more water and the flour is wet still,you can add one table spoon flour also.
If it is dry start adding water little by little and rub the flour with your hands.
The consistency we are looking here is like of bread crumbs and not wet and not dry.

Once you feel it is ready, add half cup of coconut and mix well with the flour. Now you need to steam this until cooked. It doesn't require more than 10 minutes to cook.

I use "Puttu Kudam"(A utensil used to steam puttu. ). Add some coconut into it then fill half of it add some coconut again then fill completely. Add a tea spoon coconut on top of it and steam it.

'Puttu' is ready! You can have it with any banana ,milk and sugar,if you like it sweet.  Or you can have it with chicken curry, Dal fry and Channa masala.

Cook it & let me know your thoughts !!
Njoy !! :)
