Puttu Upma

Healthy and tasty dish made with puttu and vegetables

Puttu is a steam cooked rice cake made with rice flour and grated coconut. It is a tradional breakfast item of Kerala. The perfect combination for puttu is pazham(banana) or with Puttum kadalayum. We can also make Wheat Puttu with wheat flour and grated coconut. We usually make this puttu upma with left over puttu and have it as a 4’O clock snack. You can also serve this as breakfast. I have added many vegetables and spinach to make this dish more healthy. Hope you all will like this healthy puttu upma recipe.
