Description

Kodo Millet Puttu is a nutritious and delicious variation of the traditional South Indian steamed rice dish, Puttu, made using kodo millet instead of rice flour. Kodo millet, known for its high fiber content and low glycemic index, makes this version a healthier, gluten-free alternative. The millet flour is mixed with grated coconut and water to form a crumbly dough, which is then steamed in a puttu maker, resulting in soft, fluffy layers. This Puttu can be served with coconut milk, jaggery, or curry, offering a versatile and wholesome meal for breakfast or snacks. Rich in essential nutrients and easy to digest, Kodo Millet Puttu is an ideal dish for those seeking a nutritious, low-calorie option.
