Arisi Vella Puttu Recipe

Vella Puttu is nothing but sweet puttu made with rice flour and jaggery.Vella Puttu is a traditional neiveidhyam made for Navaratri.I bookmarked this recipe last year itself but was pressed for time so skipped it.And this year after making aval puttu and gaining experience in jaggery syrup consistencies I confidently tried this arisi vella puttu and it came out soo good. I love all puttu varieties, amma makes a sweet puttu with sugar now this one with jaggery is a addition to my favourite puttu recipes.The tiny bead toys are made by amma and it is more than 30 yrs old….She does lovely handworks,painting and stitching….Now dont ask me if I know any of these…I am nil in all these.Amma was very happy when I picked these tiny miniature dolls to click 🙂

Arisi Vella Puttu Recipe

My Notes:

  • Rice flour mixture should be cooked to soft so steam it accordingly.I used my idli kadai steamer and steamed it.
  • After the rice mixture is steam cooked, cool down and then crumble it with your hands to break the lumps formed.
  • If you add more water to make jaggery syrup then you to keep on stirring for long to get the desired consistency.
  • When you add the rice flour mixture to the jaggery syrup it will look moist don’t worrykeep stirring, the rice flour mixture will absorb all the jaggery and after few mins you will see the puttu dry.
  • The consistency check is the most important here other than that there is no risk factors involved.Make sure you don’t miss the consistency else the next stage will be hard ball consistency and you will not get the puttu in perfect texture.
  • While making jaggery syrup first you can keep in medium flame once it becomes thick then switch it to low medium flame and cook till perfect consistency is reached.
  • Make sure to strain the jaggery syrup to avoid impurities.
