Wheat / Gothambu
puttu (wheat steamed cake), is a healthy breakfast. Kerala is famous for ‘puttu’.
Various varieties are available like rice puttu,
wheat puttu, ragi puttu, maize / cholam puttu etc…
Today, we are going to prepare wheat
(Gothambu) puttu (steamed
cake). As wheat is very helpful for
healthy diet, add a recipe to your breakfast menu – wheat puttu.
In wheat puttu, it’s prepare
with steam, so it will be much more healthy.
Ingredients:
Wheat flour (gothambu
powder) ----------- 2 cups
Grated coconut
--------------------------------1/2 to 1 cup
Salt
---------------------------------------------- to taste
Water
-------------------------------------------as needed
Preparation:
1.
Take wheat flour in a vessel and add
salt into it
2.
Sprinkle water to the powder, and mix
well with fingers (Don’t pour more water at a time, as wheat will become dough very
easily) till it become wet enough for steaming
3.
The wet powder may have small lumps,
so in order to remove the same, put the flour in a mixi
and pulse it just for a second
4.
Heat the steamer with water
5.
By the time, in a puttu
maker (puttu kutti), after
put a small disc with holes (chillu), add 2 teaspoon
grated coconut, then prepared flour till half part, then again add 2 teaspoon
coconut, then prepared flour, and at the end also add 2 teaspoon coconut, then
close the lid and place it in the steamer to cook well
6.
After 3-5 minutes, steam start come
out through the puttu maker’s lid holes
7.
Cook for 10-15 minutes totally (until
the flour inside is cook well to eat)
8.
Turn off the stove and take the puttu maker from the steamer
9.
Then take out the puttu
/ steamed cake
10.
Now the wheat puttu
/ gothambu puttu / wheat
steamed cake is ready to serve
This can be served with banana, kadala curry (chick peas curry), fish
curry, chicken curry etc… But I like the plain puttu, that too yummy with coconut added. If you like the taste of coconut well, mix half of the coconut with the flour too....That will add the taste of the puttu....:-)
