A small tip ! Make Putt without puttukutti !

This for all those Kerala Putt fans out there stuck without having necessary equipment i.e. puttukutti to make it !!!

May be most of us must have figured this out. But I am writing this down for those who might still be wondering how to accomplish the urge to make and enjoy a hot Putt with a yummy spicy chana curry or a nice ripe banana !!!

Well , problem solved !

You can get your putt prepared using a pressure cooker.

Take your cooker, pour water (an inch or less deep) .

Place the perforated plate that you get along with the cooker in the water.

Place the Putt mixture in a separate bowl,  and place it over the perforated plate in the cooker.

Now close the cooker and cook until 2 to 3 whistles (depends on the amount of mixture you have in the bowl).

Now if you have a regular perforated (steel)plate, you can also use it.

If it doesn't fit into the cooker you can still cook it normally by placing it on any other vessel that can hold it and then covering it with a lid. [Don't forget to pour water in the bigger vessel !]

NB:
* Make sure the bowl you choose to place inside the cooker is something that can withstand heat !
* If after opening you find it needs to be cooked for a bit longer, check the mixture and if required, wet the mixture a little bit so that it remains soft and doesn't dry out  and then put it back on the stove and wait for another whistle or two ! It should be done by then !!!
* Also,
Watch out for STEAM when you put your hand into the cooker to take the bowl out of it !
 Don't get your fingers burnt !!!


Enjoy !!!
