Instructions:

Start by roasting the ragi flour in a dry pan over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. This helps to remove any raw taste from the flour. Make sure to stir continuously to prevent burning. Once roasted, remove the flour from the heat and let it cool down.
In a mixing bowl, add the roasted ragi flour and salt. Gradually add water little by little and mix well with your fingers until the flour resembles a crumbly texture. The consistency should be such that when you hold a portion of the mixture and press it together, it should hold its shape but crumble easily.
Now, it's time to prepare the puttu. Layer the puttu maker or steamer with grated coconut followed by a layer of the ragi mixture. Repeat this process until the puttu maker is filled, ending with a layer of grated coconut on top.
Steam the puttu for about 8-10 minutes or until cooked through. You can check the doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the puttu. If it comes out clean, it's ready.
Once cooked, remove the puttu from the steamer and let it cool for a minute or two. Then, gently loosen the puttu using a spoon or fork.
Serve the ragi puttu warm with your favorite accompaniments such as banana slices, sugar, or jaggery. Enjoy the nutritious and delicious breakfast!

Feel free to adjust the amount of grated coconut or salt according to your taste preferences. And if you don't have a puttu maker, you can also steam the mixture in a regular steamer by layering it in a cylindrical container with holes at the bottom.
