I have previously posted a chakka puttu recipe where I used chopped jackfruit pieces as layering. This is a different variation where I used jackfruit paste….
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup puttu podi / rice flour
12 chakka / ripe jackfruit pieces, chopped
1/2 cup grated coconut (or as required)
Preparation:
- In a blender, add jackfruit pieces and grind well to a smooth paste without adding water.
- Add the puttu podi and salt in a bowl and add jackfruit paste little by little and mix well with hand without any lumps till it becomes moist. Keep it covered for 10 minutes.
- Take a puttu maker and layer it with grated coconut first, then the puttupodi and then the grated coconut again. Repeat the process till the puttu maker is filled.
- Fill pressure cooker/ puttu kudam with 3-4 cups of water and bring to a boil.
- Place the puttu maker on top of it and steam cook for 5-7 minutes or until the steam starts coming out from the top of puttu maker.
- Remove it to a plate and serve hot…
- Can add finely chopped jackfruit pieces along with coconut for layering…
- The method to check the consistency of puttu podi – When we hold it should have shape and when we break it must be easily breakable.
