How to Make?

• Wash the parboiled red rice and start roasting it in a pan.

• Once it has started to pop, switch off the stove and let it cools down.

• Transfer the contents to a mixer jar and start grinding the roasted red rice.

• Now, take a pan, add little ghee and add a tablespoon of chopped nuts to it.

• To the ghee roasted nuts, add the ground red rice and powdered jaggery.
• Don't rush up to add water at once. Add water little by a little while stirring the mixture.

• You could be able to see the puttu consistency when you have finished adding the water.
• Add some freshly shredded coconut to the puttu and serve.

Tips:

• Feel free to add extra few tablespoons of water while stirring if you end up with a dry puttu.
• Season with cardamom powder if you want. I usually skip adding cardamom as red rice with ghee and coconut adds a nice flavour to the puttu.
