Puttu-Steamed Rice Flour Cake with Coconut

One of my favourite breakfasts from Kerala, India is puttu- especially when it is made with roasted brown rice flour and served with tiny bananas. Here you can see Jijesh's first lesson in how to make puttu (yes, I am the teacher after learning from my guru- Amma, Jijesh's mom). Jijesh is alternating putting in 1 tablespoon of defrosted, frozen coconut and the moistened roasted brown rice flour mix into the puttu tube. Then the puttu tube is steamed on top of the bottom vestal. Jijesh made a delicious cherupayar (moong dal and coconut) curry to accompany the tasty puttu and bananas.
