Puttu is one breakfast I always prefer and love to have it.I usually prepare it one weekend and feel it more filling.If I have any left over I will happily indulge it for my evening snack as I love it that much and can't express in words.

to add one more to it here comes this kambu puttu.
Kambu known as pearl millet in english is easily available in super markets nowadays.Here I used readymade kambu puttu flour in market.But to make the flour is not that difficult.Check millet for any dust & stones.Then powder it in a mixer.Slightly roast the powdered flour and make puttu.
