Take a large vessel, put about 3 cups of flour in that. Sprinkle some salt
Add little bit water and keep mixing the flour and salt. Add some more water and continue mixing. Look for bread crumb consistency. Do not add too much water, just check for its consistency in between. Adding too much water will spoil the puttu. Taste it and check if it has enough salt in it.
In the puttu maker,take the top part of the puttu kutty and add one layer (about 1 tablespoon of grated coconut. Add about 6 layers (or about 6 tablespoon of the rava flour, which we have already prepared. While filling the flour, do not press with spoon or hand, let it be loose.
Again put one tablespoon of grated coconut followed by another 6 tablespoon of prepared puttu flour. If your puttu kutty is big, you may have to add a 3rd layer.
Close it with the lid and place it over the bottom round kudam of puttu maker which has boiling water. Wait for few minutes, for the steam to come out of the top holes in the lid.
Allow 5 minutes for the steam to come properly .
Carefully remove the putty kutty from the puttu kudam. Keep a plate ready and using a long stick or spoon, apply pressure on the bottom hole of puttu kutty and the puttu comes out easily.
This puttu can be enjoyed with banana and kadala curry
