Boiled Rice Puttu is a delicious dish that can be served for breakfast or an evening snack. While Puttu is mostly made with raw rice, with boiled rice too it turns out great.
Just like me, Konda also loves Puttu and Amma got a single-serve Puttu Steamer and makes it often for her. While she mostly makes with raw rice, soaked and made it at home, this time she had the boiled rice flour ready. We have to pay extra attention to how the boiled rice soaks and gets ground. Otherwise, it's similar to the way the raw rice is made.
We made this for an evening snack and the hot steaming puttu with fresh coconut was an excellent dish to enjoy.
The best part is that when you have the flour done ready, it can be frozen for later use and the final dish takes only about 15 mins max for steaming. This is for the second day of BM#96, Week 1 where I am doing Winter Warmers.

This sounds similar to modak. The process for rice flour prep and the coconut/sugar filling. Everything else is different. Very interesting recipe.

I have a puttu maker , but a single serve one should be lovely . I have yet to try the sweet version , sounds delicious !
Priya Suresh says
Been a while i made puttu at home.. My all time favourite is this coconut and sugar version. Makes me nostalgic.
harini says
Wow! I have never tasted puttu before and I am tempted by the amazing variety of puttus one can make. This one sounds very easy to make as well.

Boiled rice is very flavourful than the raw rice flour and I am sure the putty tasted brilliant. A warm bowl of puttu is what we need for this winter.

I love this small steamer. I have the kuzhai puttu type steamer. This is so yum and I am big puttu fan. Never made puttu powder at home. Always get store-bought one. Need to try soon.
Pavani says
I've heard a lot about puttu, but never tried it myself. I have to see if I can get the small steamer on my next India trip. Your recipe sounds delicious and would love to try it.
Suma Gandlur says
The puttu sounds wonderful and this one serving steamer sounds apt to try it out.
FoodTrails says
I had puttu only once at a friend's place and absolutely loved it. Your's look delicious and I am craving for some now !!
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
The boiled rice has a different kind of flavor and I really enjoy it. I want someone to make this for me now. I have this on my list to ask you when I come to India this summer.
