Puttu, a cylindrical steamed rice cake cooked in a puttu maker, is a beloved breakfast staple in Kerala. Simple yet incredibly satisfying, it's a dish that perfectly balances subtle flavors with a delightful, fluffy texture. If you're looking to explore the authentic tastes of Kerala, understanding and making Puttu is a delicious first step.

What is Kerala Puttu?
At its heart, Puttu is a humble yet versatile dish. It consists of ground rice (or other grains) that is lightly moistened and then steamed in a cylindrical mold, often layered with grated coconut. The resulting steamed cake is light, airy, and subtly flavored, making it a fantastic accompaniment to a variety of curries, gravies, and sweet treats.
The beauty of Puttu lies in its simplicity and the way it beautifully absorbs the flavors of whatever it's paired with. It's a wholesome and nutritious way to start your day, embodying the essence of Kerala's culinary traditions.
Exploring the Delicious Variations of Puttu
While the classic rice puttu is a favorite, there are many exciting variations that cater to different tastes and preferences. This is where our range of KK Puttu Podi truly shines:
-
KK Steam Puttu Podi (White Rice): This is your go-to for the traditional, snow-white Puttu. Made from carefully selected rice, it guarantees a soft and fluffy texture that perfectly complements spicy Kerala curries like Kadala Curry or vegetable stew.
-

Why Kerala Puttu is a Healthy Choice
Beyond its delicious taste, Puttu offers several health benefits:
-
Steamed Goodness: The steaming process retains the nutrients of the grains without the need for added oils or fats.
-
Rich in Carbohydrates: Provides a good source of energy to kickstart your day.
-
Fiber Content: Depending on the grain used (especially red rice and wheat), Puttu can be a good source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting satiety.
-
Gluten-Free Options: Traditional rice puttu and our KK Steam Puttu Podi are naturally gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities.
How to Make Perfect Puttu with KK Puttu Podi
Making delicious and fluffy Puttu at home is easier than you think, especially with our specially formulated KK Puttu Podi. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
-
Prepare the Puttu Podi: Take the desired KK Puttu Podi (Steam, Chemba, or Wheat) in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing it with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. The consistency is crucial – it should be just moist enough to hold its shape when squeezed but still crumbly.
-
Layer the Puttu Maker: Take a puttu maker (puttukutti). Place the perforated disc inside. Start by adding a layer of grated coconut at the bottom, followed by a layer of the moistened KK Puttu Podi. Repeat these layers, alternating between coconut and puttu podi, until the puttu maker is almost full. Finish with a layer of grated coconut on top.
-
Steam the Puttu: Place the puttu maker over a pot of boiling water, ensuring a tight seal. Steam for about 5-10 minutes, or until steam starts to escape steadily from the holes at the top of the puttu maker. This indicates that the puttu is cooked.
-
Serve Hot: Gently push the cooked puttu out of the puttu maker using a skewer or the handle of a spoon. Serve hot with your favorite accompaniments like Kadala Curry, Egg Curry, Vegetable Stew, or simply with banana and sugar.
