Greetings everyone!
As a hard core "puttu fan", I love all sorts of puttu. But, eating carrots for breakfast? Was not my thing.Trust me, once you eat this, you will never look at the carrots the same way.
This makes 2 puttus, as in the pictures below.
Ingredients:
Carrots, fine grated, - 3/4 cup
Finer rava (Semolina) - 1/2 cup
Salt - to taste
Fresh/frozen grated coconut
Roast rava in a pan until it is just heated up. switch off the stove and let it cool, make sure you take the pan away from the hot stove. Once cooled down mix in the grated carrot and salt, this should look like the picture below.
Make sure it is well combined, as we are not using any water to moist the mixture, unlike the traditional puttu. Cover and keep it aside for 10 minutes. Prepare the puttu-steamer, add grated coconut and fill the puttu container and top it off with coconut.
Steam for 10 minutes. Cooking time is higher than the traditional one, because semolina needs more cooking time.
Once done, flip it into a plate and serve hot with black chana curry/any curry you like or plantains/banana. Repeat the process for rest of the semolina-carrot mixture.
This is a very good way to incorporate carrot into your daily food. Its mildly sweet, I like to combine with sugar or plantain. Black chana curry is also a very good combination for this puttu.
Eat healthy,
