A "Puttu mix multi combo" sounds like a versatile mix of ingredients for making Puttu, a traditional South Indian dish made from steamed rice flour and coconut. Typically, Puttu is served with various accompaniments like chickpea curry, banana, papadum, or grated coconut. A "multi combo" might include different types of flours (like wheat or ragi) for making Puttu, along with a variety of accompaniments to cater to different tastes. It could be a convenient option for those who want to enjoy Puttu with a range of flavors and textures.
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Rice Flour Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour and salt. Gradually add water little by little and mix until the flour resembles bread crumbs. The mixture should hold shape when pressed together but crumble easily.
-
Steam the Puttu:
- Fill the bottom of a Puttu maker or steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Layer the Puttu maker with grated coconut followed by the prepared rice flour mixture. Repeat the layers until the Puttu maker is filled, ending with a layer of grated coconut on top.
- Close the lid and steam for about 8-10 minutes, or until the Puttu is cooked through and fluffy.
-
Serve:
- Once done, gently push the steamed Puttu out of the Puttu maker onto a serving plate.
Multi-Combo Accompaniments:
- Chickpea Curry: Cook chickpeas with onions, tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, and spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala until thickened.
- Banana: Serve ripe banana slices alongside Puttu for a sweet contrast.
- Papadum: Fry or roast papadum until crispy and serve as a crunchy side.
- Grated Coconut: Provide additional grated coconut for sprinkling over the Puttu for extra flavor.
