Yellow corn puttu | Corn meal steamed cake

Corn Puttu with step by step pictures.

Puttu is a steamed breakfast which is considered healthy. It is one of the main breakfast recipes in the state of Kerala. There they serve with kadalai curry, cooked payaru (green grams)-papad, chicken/mutton gravy and for the sweet version they give sugar and banana. I always love to have my puttu with banana and sugar.

Puttu can be made with any flour, rice or millets. I have some version of it my blog. Search it in the search box on the right side. This puttu can be served even for diabetic people with any spicy gravy as side dish.

Let us see how to make this.
