Mix the rice flour with salt and moisten by sprinkling in warm water little by little.
Rest the moist rice flour for 10 minutes so the flour absorbs the water evenly.
Layer the grated coconut and moist rice flour in the steamer container.
Steam the puttu for 15 minutes.
Remove the cooked puttu from the mold and keep warm.
Serve the puttu with bananas and honey.
💡 Tip: Do not turn the rice flour into a dough while moistening it; the right texture holds when squeezed in the palm and falls apart when released.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve puttu hot, with banana, honey, or chickpea stew if desired for a breakfast tray.
