Rava puttu with cherupayar curry


Here is the recipe for making Rava/Sooji Puttu. I prefer to have this puttu with cherupayaru  Curry or any other gravy. I like having Rava Puttu with Bananas and sugar.
Ingredients
  1. Rava/Sooji/– 2 cups
  2. Salt – to taste
  3. Warm Water – 1 cup (for mixing)
  4. Coconut scrapes – 1 cup
  5. Sugar – 1 tsp
Preparation Method
1.  Mix grated coconut with sugar and keep aside.
2.  Steam Rava for 15 minutes.``````````````````
3.  Remove the Rava  from heat. Allow it to cool.
4.  Add salt to the roasted rava. Sprinkle little water and start mixing it using your hand.
5.  Keep on adding warm water little by little and mixing till the rava becomes wet fully and resembles bread crumbs. I used around 1 cup of water for 2 cups of rava.
6.  Add 2 tbsps of coconut sugar mix to the bottom of a Puttu Kuti (mould for making Puttu). Then add rava mixture till the middle of the Puttu Kutti, followed by coconut. Continue adding Rava and finally some coconut on the top.
7.  Take water in a Puttu Kudam (Vessel for making Puttu) and allow it to boil. Place the Puttu Kuti on top of the Puttu Kudam and allow it to steam.
8.  Cook for 7-8 minutes after steam starts coming out of the Puttu Kutti.
