Puttu is a Breakfast dish eaten in south india mainly in Kerala.
In all traditional recipes, rice is used in the dish. Instead of using rice flour, we added red rice flakes and variety of millet which is more aromatic and flavorful than usual puttu.
Millet is highly nutritious and were the considered a poor mans meal for some time. However it has made a comeback as a superfood. If you are considering shifting from rice to millet, I am sure you will not regret it.
I enjoy this recipe with red puffed rice and varieties of millet, because in generally it has a nuttier flavor and aroma to it.
