Wheat Puttu - Kerala Whole Wheat Puttu Recipe

wheat puttu

100% whole wheat puttu recipe; Kerala whole wheat puttu is one of the healthiest breakfast. Wheat flour is mixed with water and salt and steamed with freshly grated coconut. Not a drop of oil is added and its 100% vegan.

 When my family is on a health spree wheat puttu always finds its place at breakfast and sometimes at dinner. The best thing is that it can be paired with almost anything, from chicken curry to kadala curry or even simple onion fry.

The trick to make the wheat flour suitable for puttu lies with the wetting of the flour. I like to use either my food processor or dry grinder of my mixie. Here, I am showing how to do it in the dry grinder jar of the mixie.

In case you do not have a puttu steamer; I have shown here how to steam with the shell of a coconut.


Step By Step Method:
Yields: 1 kutti or 2 chiratta puttu.

Add one cup of whole wheat flour (atta) in your dry grinder jar. Add salt and 1/4 cup of water.


Blitz/run the mixie for 10 seconds. Then again add little more water (about 1/4 cup).

Blitz again for 10-15 seconds. Your wheat puttu flour (podi) is ready.  Add a tbsp of freshly grated coconut and top it with wheat puttu podi till half of the mould.

And then repeat until coconut comes on top. Steam for 3-5 min and serve hot.

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions.
