Puttu is a traditional breakfast dish of south india. It is usually preparing with rice flour. A special mould is using to make puttu. Olden days we used to make in a cylindrical mould. It will consume more flour. When i started to do dieting i buy one round shaped small mould, which is now available in market. It is resembling the shape of chiratta(thick covering of coconut). In my dieting plan I started to make healthy puttu made of wheat flour,raggi,oats and maise powder. It is really tasty. It is served with banana ,chick peas curry or with pappadam and green gram curry.
