Drain the water completely and Spread it on a cloth for 20-25 minutes under a fan

Grind it to coarse powder

Fry the flour on medium heat for 3-4 min

Once it is cool store in an airtight container

This is the puttu rice flour

In a large bowl, take the powder and sprinkle water (add salt in the water) on the flour

(Sprinkle water carefully as it may spoil the puttu if you add more water

It should be bread crumb consistency)

Blend it in a mixer for 2-3 seconds and then sieve it,The flour should be crumbly and moist, There should be no lumps

In the puttu kutty (puttu maker) Place 1 layer of grated coconut at the bottom of the puttu maker then add 2 fistful of puttu flour then again add grated coconut followed by puttu flour

Repeat the same process until the mould/puttu kutty is full ending it with grated coconut
