Rava Puttu






365 days .... for morning breakfast... this is something you will find it at my grandma's house. I enjoy having with sugar and fried kerala banana.  I bet that's a deadly combination....!!!


  • 1/2 coconut
  • 200 grams fine rava(Semolina)
  • salt to taste.



  • Roast rava lightly, without turning it into brownish.
  • Remove and cool.
  • Grate the coconut.
  • sprinkle salted water and mix till it looks like bread crumbs.


















Heat water in the 'Puttu Vessel'.(The 'puttu'- or steamed rava cake : vessel is fitted with the 'Kutti' { a cylindrical contraption} at its mouth. The half filled water in the main vessel is boiled and the steam escapes through the 'Kutti', threaby cooking the puttu)


  • Sprinkle little grated coconut in the 'Puttu Kutti' and put two handfuls of the preapread rava.
  • Again sprinkle coconut and rava in two layers.
  • Keep it in the vessel and cover with the lid.
  • Cook till steam comes out.
  • Remove the 'Kutti' from the vessel till steam comes out.
  • Remove the 'kutti' from the vessel and push out the contents to a plate.

Serve hot with sugar and plantain or stew.
