Purple Puttu

Purple is the coloring of the flavor at the QuicknHealthy kitchen :-). I accept been using a lot of royal vegetables this flavor including sweetness potatoes, cabbages, potatoes together with cauliflowers. Have used the sweetness Irish Gaelic patato to a greater extent than than others this flavor inward a diversity of ways. The recipe today is a variation of a staple breakfast from Kerala. 'Puttu' is really nostalgic to every malayali. They are steaming hot rice cakes traditionally made amongst roasted rice flour, slightly moist, lay inward a cylinder shaped mold amongst layers of kokosnoot together with steamed. Most non-malayalees discovery it difficult to empathize how the rice pulverisation holds together to rest inward shape, together with that is a hole-and-corner known exclusively to us mallus :-). In olden days, when people used to locomote inward the fields, it was in all likelihood a expert sentiment to swallow a high carb breakfast similar this one. I mean value it is non actually a expert sentiment for people similar us, who sit down inward front end of a estimator for a living, to produce the same. So patch nosotros campaign to indulge inward our traditional delicacies nosotros oft restrain the quantity. This is a really salubrious breakfast if y'all tin command the quantity, every bit it is made of whole grains, has expert fatty from the kokosnoot together with is steamed. We could also arrive amongst whole grain rice varieties, instead of white rice together with also amongst other grains/seeds (whole grain rice varieties similar dark rice & cerise rice, millets, quinoa, etc). In today's recipe I accept substituted one-half the rice amongst royal sweetness potato.  It needs a lilliputian prep locomote ahead of time, but thence homemade nutrient e'er come upwardly amongst some sum of prep together with planning.
