Servings1
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.
