Puttu is a traditional and beloved South Indian breakfast dish, especially popular in Kerala. Made from steamed layers of finely ground rice flour and freshly grated coconut, puttu is known for its soft, fluffy texture and delicate flavor. It is traditionally prepared in a cylindrical steamer, which gives it its distinctive shape and light consistency. Puttu is often served with kadala curry (black chickpea curry), banana, sugar, or ghee, making it a wholesome and satisfying meal. Rich in carbohydrates and naturally gluten-free, this simple yet nutritious dish reflects the authentic taste and culinary heritage of Kerala. Its comforting flavor and versatility make it a favorite choice for breakfast and light meals.
