Kevar and rice puttu

Love kevar puttu. Love the rice flour version too. So why not combine them. It's been ages and good puttus are hard to come by these days.

I roasted a packet of rice flour and half a packet of kevar flour, coz i had half left in the fridge. I like to brown the flour a bit for the toasty smell.

I like to work the flour while still hot. Sprinkle some salt into flour and handfuls of water till it forms really thick bread crumbs. Heat up steamer and throw a daun pandan into the water for the nice fragrance. Load up flour into steamer and steam for 10 minutes. You can use puttu steamer if you like. I like it freestyle. Then give it a quick stir around, sprinkle a few more handfuls of water, stir again and steam for another 10 mins. Finally warm a tbsp of ghee, throw in 3-5 cardamons and sprinkle over cooking puttu and stir.

Steam another 5 mins and puttu is cooked once it is translucent and fluffy. Can be eaten with the usual fresh grated coconut/jaggery combination or eaten with curry/sambal/egg/banana version like how my other half does.
