• Rice flour is the best to make stuffed food. • The rice flour used for Puttu recipe is different from normal flour i.e it’s not finely crushed nor a fine powder. A medium consistency is required. • Rice flour is dry fried once before making Puttu. But now a days fried Puttu Rice Flour is available in stores. • The consistency dough is not like making Chpatai/ bread. Water is added little by little and mix with the flour till the required consistency is achieved. It’s not a perfect dough but still in powder form. • To check the consistency, take the dough in hand and gently squeeze the dough. If it forms a shape and mixture is not fallen down, that’s the right constancy. • Don’t stuff rice flour/ stuffing tightly in the mould, it won’t allow the steam to come up and thus the Puttu will be uncooked. • Check the water level of the steamer occasionally.
