Red Rice Puttu (Sweet breakfast)

Method

• Take a big bowl and add the red rice puttu flour in it.
• Add a pinch of salt and sprinkle a little water, mix the flour and remove the lumps.
• Repeat this process of sprinkling water and removing the lumps, till you get a moist but free-flowing mix.
• Take a tube-shaped puttu maker and add 4 tsp puttu mix to the tube; top it with 1 tsp grated coconut.
• Repeat with 4 tsp puttu mix and 1 tsp coconut. Follow this method till the tube is filled. Fill three or four tubes similarly.
• Place the tubes in a steamer and steam for 10-15 minutes.
• Once done, transfer the cooked puttu into a bowl and add jaggery powder.
• Mix well. Mixing the jaggery powder while puttu is warm helps to melt the jaggery.
• Serve in a bowl with chopped banana. You can add nut milk/coconut milk if you like.
