Kuzha Puttu - A delicious and healthy breakfast dish with a mix of sweet and savory flavors
Kuzha Puttu is a traditional Kerala dish made of rice flour, coconut milk and jaggery. It is also called as “puttu” or “kadala puttu” in different parts of India.
It is made of rice and coconut that are steamed in a cylindrical metal container called a puttu kutti. The rice and coconut mixture is then poured into the container, which has been greased with ghee or oil. Kuzha Puttu is usually served hot.
This dish is usually served for breakfast with a side of chutney or sambar, but it can also be served as an accompaniment to other dishes like appam, idli, dosa, or iddiappam.
