Red rice puttu | sweet puttu is an healthy and tasty traditional indian sweet recipe. Puttu is traditionally prepared for Navaratri. Puttu stays good for 2 days at room temperature. Since we use raw coconut avoid storing longer

Can I skip soaking the rice?

soaking rice is a must for the best rice puttu as it gives the best texture. Always soak the rice till they come to the soft press stage

Can I skip parboiled rice

You can make the puttu with just red rice but I feel the puttu made by combining little idli rice stays soft 

How long should I dry the rice?

Always use a colander to drain the excess water. Additionally spread the rice on a towel. Towel dry for around 5 minutes. Rice should be moist but not dripping 

Why steaming rice rice 

For soft red rice puttu double steaming helps. This method is preferred. You can roast the rice instead and make puttu 

Can I pulse-grind rice?

Avoid pulsing as rice might not cook properly. Always grind the rice. Mix well in between and grind into smooth fine powder.

Sugar quantity

Adjust according to your preference. You can use white sugar, brown sugar or country sugar. Add in batches and mix; taste and add more. If you are using jaggery make a syrup to double string then prepare puttu.

Keep the steam cooked rice closed

To avoid the rice from turning dry always keep the cooked rice grits till we mix with water

Crumble the steamed rice grits well

Before adding the water make sure it us lump free. After steaming also crumble the rice grits again. Then add cococonut

Coconut

Coconut gives soft texture and nice taste to the puttu so don't skip. Always add more more coconut for best puttu
