Ingredients
1.
Rava/Sooji/Semolina – 2 cups
2.
Salt – to taste
3.
Warm Water – 1 cup (for mixing)
4.
Coconut scrapes
– 1 cup
5.
Sugar – 1 tsp
Preparation Method
1.
Mix grated coconut with sugar and keep aside.
2.
Dry Roast the rava on medium low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3.
Remove the semolina from heat when it starts changing color
lightly. Allow it to cool.
4.
Add salt to the roasted rava. Sprinkle little water and start mixing it using
your hand.
5.
Keep on adding warm water little by little and mixing till the
rava becomes wet fully and resembles bread crumbs. I used around 1 cup
of water for 2 cups of rava.
6.
Add 2 tbsps of coconut sugar mix to the bottom of a Puttu Kuti
(mould for making Puttu). Then add rava mixture till the middle of the Puttu
Kutti, followed by coconut. Continue adding Rava and finally some coconut on the
top.
7.
Take water in a Puttu Kudam (Vessel for making Puttu) and allow
it to boil. Place the Puttu Kuti on top of the Puttu Kudam and allow it to
steam.
8.
Cook for 7-8 minutes after steam starts coming out of the Puttu
Kutti.
9.
Serve this delicious Rava Puttu with Kadala (Chana) Curry, Cheru Payaru (Green Gram)
Curry, Mutta (Egg) Curry or Bananas.
