Instructions

  • Mix well, add water little by little for a breadcrumb like mixture.
  • When you hold with your palm it should hold together but when pressed it should easily crumble.This is the right stage.Transfer the ragi mixture to a  steamer.
  • Steam cook for 10-12 mins, you can see the slight color change.I used a white cloth for steaming, placed it inside the steamer then added ragi mixture. You can use your idli plate for steaming too.Instead you can use the kuzha for making puttu too. Now transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add ghee.
  • Add cardamom powder and jaggery syrup or any sweetner of your choice.Add grated coconut.
  • Mix well.You can serve it as such or fill a bowl base with coconut first.
  • Add cooked puttu over it, press well and flatten it.Invert to the serving plate and serve.This is just for serving purpose.
