Chemba Puttu Podi: A Traditional and Healthy Breakfast

Chemba Puttu Podi: A Traditional and Healthy Breakfast

Introduction 

Chemba Puttu, a traditional Kerala breakfast dish, is renowned for its unique flavor and health benefits. Made from Chemba rice (red rice), this steamed delicacy offers a wholesome start to the day. Chemba rice, with its distinct reddish-brown color and nutty flavor, is a powerhouse of nutrients, making Chemba Puttu a nutritious and satisfying meal. Unlike white rice, Chemba rice retains its bran layer, which is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. At KK Food Products, we are committed to providing you with high-quality Chemba Puttu Podi, ensuring that you can enjoy the authentic taste and health benefits of this traditional dish. This blog post will explore the nutritional advantages of Chemba Puttu and guide you through the process of making it using our premium Chemba Puttu Podi.

Nutritional Advantages of Chemba Puttu 

Chemba rice, the key ingredient in Chemba Puttu, is a nutritional powerhouse. It is rich in dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness, contributing to weight management. The presence of antioxidants, including anthocyanins, helps protect the body against free radicals and oxidative stress. Chemba rice is also a good source of iron, magnesium, and zinc, which are essential for various bodily functions. The bran layer of Chemba rice is retained during processing, preserving its natural nutrients and providing a higher nutritional value compared to polished white rice. Its low glycemic index makes it a suitable option for individuals with diabetes, as it helps regulate blood sugar levels. Regular consumption of Chemba Puttu can contribute to improved heart health, enhanced digestive function, and overall well-being.

Tips for Making Perfect Chemba Puttu (150 words):

  • Moisture Control: The key to soft and fluffy Chemba Puttu is to achieve the right moisture level in the flour. Sprinkle water gradually and mix until the flour is moist but not soggy.
  • Layering: Alternate layers of Chemba Puttu Podi and grated coconut in the puttu maker to ensure even cooking and a balanced flavor.
  • Steaming Time: Steam the puttu for the recommended time to ensure it is cooked through. Over-steaming can result in hard puttu.
  • Fresh Coconut: Use fresh grated coconut for the best flavor and texture.

Step-by-Step Recipe Using KK Chemba Puttu Podi 

  1. Prepare the Flour: In a bowl, take the required amount of KK Chemba Puttu Podi. Add salt to taste. Gradually sprinkle water while mixing with your hands. The flour should be moist but not soggy, with a crumbly texture.
  2. Layer the Puttu Maker: Start by placing a layer of grated coconut at the bottom of the puttu maker (puttu kutti). Add a layer of the prepared Chemba Puttu Podi. Alternate layers of coconut and flour until the puttu maker is filled.
  3. Steam the Puttu: Place the puttu maker over a pot of boiling water. Steam for 5-7 minutes, or until steam starts to come out from the top.
  4. Serve Hot: Carefully remove the puttu from the maker using a stick or spoon. Serve hot with your favorite side dish.
  5. Side Dishes: Chemba Puttu is traditionally served with Kadala curry (black chickpea curry) or banana.
