- Remove from the heat and tilt the cylindrical-shaped puttu onto a serving plate. Break the puttu at the coconut joints and eat with bananas and sprinkle with sugar.
- A special pan called a puttu maker is needed to make these Keralan snacks. The puttu maker comes in two parts: the lower part is a steamer and the upper part is a cylindrical tube where the rice and coconut are placed. The upper portion has a perforated lid at the bottom where steam rises up from the steamer and a tight-fitting lid at the top with small holes to allow the steam to escape.
