MANGO PUTTU

Apart from normal white puttu,I tried something different adding Mangoes (king of fruit) to make Mango Puttu.😁💛 Its very nutritious. Best way to make puttu colourful and interesting cum attractive especially for kids. These can be eaten as it is though it has gotten a sweet flavour. I have used mangoes as whole pieces as well as the pureed one to mix with the puttu powder. So lets dig into the recipe..

NOTE: Sweetness can be adjusted accordingly. I am just giving the rough measurement😊😊as some of puttu powder requires more liquid. 

INGREDIENTS

1 cup Puttu podi

2 Ripe Mangoes 

1 cup Fresh grated coconut

1/2 cup Grated Jaggery

Pinch of salt

Pinch of Cardamom powder (optional)

METHOD

First blend one mango adding little water until smooth paste. Make a small pieces with another mango. Now take a big bowl. Add puttu powder with salt and mango puree little by little to make it wet. To check the mixture if its ready, just take a small portion between your palms,and gently press, it should form a big lump. And when you press, it should break easily and crumble. But makesure the whole mixture should not have even tiny lumps. So mix it well using your fingertips. Let it rest for 15 min. In another bowl, mix coconut and jaggery together and keep it aside. Now take a puttu maker and layer it with 1 tbsp coconut  jaggery mixture first then 2 tsp of mango pieces and spread evenly. Then fill with mango puttu mixture and then again with coconut jaggery mix. Continue with the same process as shown in the picture till maker is completely filled. Place the maker on Puttu kudam or pressure cooker and steam for 7 to 8 min. Thats it 😊Tasty mango puttu is ready to serve😋😋

ENJOY!!!
