Ingredients:

• 1 cup Pearl Millet Flour ( Kambu Powder)

• 1/4 cup Grated Coconut

• Water, as needed

• Salt, to taste

Instructions:

• Prepare the Mixture:

  • In a separate bowl, take Pearl Millet flour. Gradually add water and mix to make a crumbly texture.

  • Combine the grated coconut with the Pearl Millet flour mixture. Add salt to taste and mix well.

• Steam the Puttu:

  • Use a Puttu maker or any cylindrical steamer.

  • Fill the bottom pot with water (1-2 inches) and bring it to a boil.

  • Layer the Puttu maker with the prepared carrot-rice mixture.

• Layering:

  • Begin with a layer of the mixture, followed by a layer of grated coconut.

  • Repeat the layers until the container is almost full, finishing with a layer of coconut on top.

• Steam:

  • Close the lid and steam for about 8-10 minutes until the Puttu is cooked. Steam should escape from the top holes.

• Serve:

  • Gently push the steamed Pearl Millet Puttu out of the cylinder onto a plate.

• Enjoy:

  • Serve hot with a side of yogurt, pickle, or any curry of your choice.
