சோள மாவு குழா புட்டு/Corn flour puttu/Puttu recipe in Tamil/ Kuzha puttu/Chola maavu puttu

Written by: 7aumsuvai
Soft and melting puttu prepared with mixture of corn flour and rice flour, which goes well as a breakfast and evening snacks for school going kids. It was tasting really really good and you all should give a try. This time, I tried making puttu with kuzha/Kozha (steaming pipe) used in Kerala. Cooking process is slightly different, but the puttu will look fantastic and yummy to eat. 


Ingredients:
Serves 3 to 4 people
  • 1/2 cup – Corn flour
  • 1/2 cup – Rice flour
  • 1/4 cup – Grated coconut
  • 1/8 to 1/4 tsp – Salt
  • 1 tbsp - Ghee
  • Powdered jaggery or Sugar to taste


Preparation method:
  1. Take a mixing bowl, mix corn flour and rice flour together. Set it aside.
  2. Dry roast flour mixture over medium or low flame, continue roasting for about 3 to 4 minutes or until you get nice aroma and raw smell goes. Remove from the stove. Be attentive while roasting the flour. Because flour will easily get burnt and might smell bad too. Also it will spoil the taste of puttu.
  3. Transfer roasted flour immediately to a mixing bowl, to avoid over frying of flour.  When the flour is completely cooled to room temperature, add required salt to it and mix well. Sprinkle water little by little to the flour and mix gently. The flour should look slightly crumbly texture as shown above.
  4. Meanwhile preheat pressure cooker with water but no whistle, now arrange them into layers in puttu maker, first add coconut,crumbly flour, then coconut,once again flour, finally little coconut, and steam it for 10 minutes or until well cooked.
  5. By that time you will see the steam coming out from the top of puttu maker which means the puttu is done.Immediately transfer the puttu to the hot box to avoid drying.
  6. Bring back the cooked puttu to the mixing bowl, add grated coconut, required sugar or jaggery and ghee, mix everything well together and serve immediately.


Notes:
  • The texture of puttu is very important to bring tasty and nice appealing puttu. So add water little by little and give a nice massage to the flour.
  • The right consistency of puttu flour will allow you to create a small firm ball and when you crumble it will become powder.
  • You can increase or decrease sugar/jaggery and coconut as per your taste.
  • I had used puttu maker/Kozha this time. Cooking process is slightly different. You may use idli cooker to make this puttu.
