Boiled Rice Puttu is a delicious dish you can serve 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 easy way to get this done quickly is you can have the flour ready. Freee the flour for later usage. 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.

Wash and soak the boiled rice for 45 mins.
Drain and dry in the shade till it becomes dry.
Powder the rice fine, sieve, and powder again till you get a fine powder.
Take the powder in a muslin cloth and steam in an Idli steamer for 10 mins.
Once it is easy to handle, crumble well, add salt and mix well.
Now steam in the puttu mold layered with grated coconut and sugar.
Steam for 10 to 15 mins and serve hot.
If you wish you can mix more fresh coconut and sugar.

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

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.
