Main Course

Ethapazham (Banana) 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 2 servings

2 Ripe plantain
1 tbsp Sugar
2 cup Rice flour
1/2 piece Coconut — grated
Water, to taste
Salt, to taste

Preparation

Step 1
Cut the ripe plantain into small cubes.
Step 2
Mix it with sugar and little coconut and set aside.
Step 3
Mix together required amount of water and salt.
Step 4
Sprinkle the salt water slowly over the rice flour and Stir everything together thoroughly.
Step 5
Continue this process till the flour becomes wet and smooth. :-Do not use too much water. (The perfect stage to stop the process is to take a handful of wet flour in the hand, just press it and open the fist. If the flour remain as a solid chunk without breaking or splitting apart, you can stop the process.).
Step 6
Add little grated coconut into the prepared flour and Stir everything together thoroughly. :- To make soft puttu, just grind the wet flour in a mixer.
Step 7
For preparing puttu, put a layer of grated coconut into the puttu kutti (puttu maker) followed by the plantain mix and rice flour and then again a layer of plantain and finally a layer of grated coconut.
Step 8
Steam it for 5 to 8 minutes until the steam passes from the top of the puttu kutti.
Step 9
Serve it hot!

Tip

Do not rush the onion and shallot frying. The difference between pale onions and properly browned onions is the difference between a flat dish and a flavourful one.
