This Kerala-style ragi puttu recipe is a beloved South Indian staple that combines the power of ragi (finger millet) with the taste of Kerala's iconic healthy, steamed rice cakes. ‘Puttu’, which translates to ‘portioned’ in Malayalam, refers to the cylindrical steamed cakes made by layering moistened flour with fresh coconut and steaming them in a special puttu maker. This version uses a combination of ragi flour and rice flour, making it exceptionally nutritious while maintaining the classic soft, crumbly texture that puttu is known for. Ragi is a superfood packed with calcium, iron, and dietary fibre, making this breakfast ideal for diabetics, children, and anyone seeking wholesome nutrition.
