Chicken Puttu

Steamed layers of rice flour and coconut inside a cylindrical mould — puttu is Kerala morning fuel. It crumbles apart on the plate and soaks up kadala curry, banana, or just a spoonful of sugar and ghee.

Ingredientsfor 5 servings

1/2 kg Chicken boneless and chopped to fine pieces
2 nos Onions — chopped
1 nos Tomato — chopped
2 nos Green chillies — chopped
1 tbsp Chicken/Meat Masala
1 tsp Red chilly powder
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tbsp Coriander Powder
2 tbsp Coconut oil
Salt, to taste
Chicken Mixture
Puttu Powder(rice flour is preferred
Coconut, as needed — grated

Preparation

Step 1
Clean the chicken pieces thoroughly.
Step 2
Pour oil into a pan and heat it and fry onions till it becomes brown.
Step 3
Add green chilies, tomatoes and fry for a few minutes.
Step 4
Add the powders(red chili, turmeric and coriander) and fry till the oil floats on top.
Step 5
Add the chicken pieces and cook in medium flame for about 15 minutes.
Step 6
Season with salt.
Step 7
Cook over a medium flame till the oil separates.
Step 8
Garnish with coriander leaves.
Step 9
In the puttu maker, first layer the grated coconut, then the chicken mixture, then add the rice flour. Repeat the layers.

Tip

Do not boil the curry hard after adding coconut milk. A gentle simmer is all you need — vigorous boiling can cause the coconut milk to split.
