Bamboo Puttu
Posted by Annita on June 23, 2006
See what I’ve found in my Amma’s Kitchen.I tasted Bamboo Puttu for the first time,and its heavenly and tempting aroma caught my mind.I can still feel its taste at the tip of my tongue.I had even decided to take it along with me,but unfortunately I couldn’t .My baggage limit exceeded and I had to throw out many things.Anyway i’ll be bringing it next time.’Bamboo Puttu ‘or ‘Kana Puttu’ is nothing but,’Puttu’ prepared in the bamboo mould.The natural flavour of Bamboo,Coconut Shells,Rice flour and Grated coconut complement each other to give such a divine taste.See the recipe for Puttu here.

Bamboo Mould |
|
This mould can be kept on a pressure cooker just liek other mould or ‘PuttuKutti’
|
Bamboo mould fixed on a pessure cooker |
|
Now the steamed Puttu can be taken out using a long bamboo stick ,which comes along with the mould.
|
Pushing the Puttu from the mould |
This steamed cooked breakfast dish when cooked in all natural containers make it more healthy and nutritious.

‘Bamboo puttu’ is so ethnic…
I always knew it had to be something like this being used in earlier times when steel ‘puttu kutties’ weren’t available…
any guesses what might be used for giving the ‘cherta’ shape to ‘puttu’
‘Cherta’ puttu is traditionally prepared in a Cherta only,Kavitha..But now you can get aluminium moulds in the shape of Chiratta..

kavita said
yup Annita I have one!
I just love its shape…
I do not know if you have tried making puttu with pwdered aval rather than rice powder.
I tried it recently and have become a huge fan.
It cooks faster than normal rice puttu.
Kavita
No,Kavitha…haven’t tried powdered aval..will surely try that sometime..
Thank you very much for the info..

I really love the sciences, especially chemistry and physics. But I also love the creative aspect of the spectrum, such as writing and books. I really want to write. Would it be smart to minor in English or Creative Writing but major in the sciences? Does it look acceptable? I’m new to college stuff, and I’m curious. I don’t want to miss an opportunity to advance my scientific or creative knowledge! I’m a Junior in high school..
