I made kambu maavu using whole kambu(Pearl Millet) last week so wanted to try puttu first as this recipe was apt for the homemade flour.I just tried with a small amount of flour and regretted later as the flavour was soo good. I thought it would be tasting bland but it proved me wrong.Try it urself and see, best for breakfast too.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup kambu maavu / bajra flour
• water as needed
• 1/4 cup cane sugar
• 2 tablespoon coconut
• a tiny pinch cardamom powder
• 2 teaspoon ghee
• a tiny pinch salt

Instructions

• Dry roast the flour until aroma comes,my flour was already roasted so just roasted for a minute and proceeded.
• Now sprinkle water may 2 tablespoon.
• Mix well without any lumps, try to hold the flour tightly with your hands if it holds then this is the right consistency, stop adding water.
• Transfer the flour to a steamer plate and steam for atleast 15-20mins in low medium flame.The color of the flour must have changed by now.
• Transfer it to a mixing bowl add cane sugar,cardamom owder,ghee,sugar and salt.
• Mix well. Serve Kambu Maavu Puttu hot / warm!

Notes

• Mix well with your hands soi that there are no lumps.
• The puttu will be seen dry even after steaming, after adding sugar ,coconut and ghee the puttu will become moist as seen.
• I used a cloth on the steamer plate and spread the flour on it, it gives softer puttu.
• I shaped the puttu using a small cup.
• You can even add sugar or jaggery to the puttu. I used unrefined cane sugar.
• The flour took a little longer to cook, it took 20mins for me. You can see the color and texture change after steaming.
