Ideal Eva Stainless Steel Puttumaker Pipe (large)

Description

How to use 

1. Prepare the Puttu Mixture

• Follow the same steps as before:
  • Mix roasted rice flour, grated coconut, warm water, and a pinch of salt.
  • The mixture should be crumbly but moist enough to hold shape when pressed.

2. Prepare the Pressure Cooker or Pot

• Add about 1-2 cups of water to the pressure cooker or pot (ensure the water doesn’t touch the pipe when attached).
• Heat the water until it starts to steam.
• If using a pressure cooker:
  • Remove the whistle/weight from the lid to allow steam to escape.

3. Assemble the Puttu Pipe

• Insert the perforated disc into the bottom of the pipe.
• Add a layer of grated coconut at the bottom.
• Add a layer of rice flour mixture (3-4 inches).
• Alternate layers of coconut and flour, ending with coconut on top.
• Do not pack the mixture tightly.

4. Attach the Puttu Pipe

• Place the puttu pipe over the steam vent of the pressure cooker or the pot’s opening.
• Ensure it fits snugly to prevent steam from escaping.

5. Steam the Puttu

• Cover the top of the pipe with its lid.
• Let the puttu steam for about 7-10 minutes, or until steam escapes from the top.

6. Remove and Serve

• Carefully detach the pipe (it will be hot!).
• Use a long spoon or skewer to gently push the puttu out from the bottom.
• Serve hot with accompaniments like bananas, sugar, or curries.
