Pal puttu


Pal puttu is yet another traditional Kerala breakfast dish. It is a version of traditional puttu,  the only difference is that instead of water, milk is used to wet the flour. Bring milk to room temperature before preparing the puttu.


 I had already posted a puttu recipe with ragi with a brief description of vessel used to prepare puttu in Kerala. If you have not visited the page yet then click here for the recipe.
