How to make Puttu : Kerala Breakfast Recipe
Most favorite breakfast receipe of kerala
Puttu is one of the favorite recipes of Kerala. It is the favorite breakfast for us. Puttu is an easy made food and doesn’t require much work to be done. The usual combination is Puttu and Kadala (Brown Chickpea) Curry or Puttu, Payar (green gram curry) and pappadam (Pappad). If nothing is out there, we can have banana and sugar Or even black tea, to make it simpler
As usual, the main ingredient is rice itself. We prefer variety of rice products, for the whole day. Idle, Dosai, Puttu, Appam, Idiyappam etc. are some of the rice based food for breakfast. We can’t think about the mail meal of the day, without rice, it will be mostly plain rice and curry and at end of the day also we go with rice products.

Yeah , there are varieties of puttu, including rice, wheat, ragi, tapioca etc . Usually puttu refers to rice puttu and in that too there are varieties like chemba (brown in color) rice puttu, plain rice puttu (white in color) etc. My favorite is chemba rice puttu and in this hub you could see that.
Thanks Anamika , for stopping and great to know that you had tasted it.
I have eaten it with all combinations and can vouch that Puttu (made with both Rice/ Wheat flour) is tasty.
