Godhambu Puttu

🇮🇳 Indian

Wheat puttu layered with coconut, Kerala breakfast steamed in a kutti puttu maker. Fermented batter, hot pan, fifty-year-old technique — south Indian breakfast engineering at its best. Serve with coconut chutney and hot sambar.

Prep 37 min Cook 21 min Serves 2 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Ginger1-inch piece
  • Green Chili2
  • Mustard Seeds1/2 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Wheat Flour3 cups
  • Coconut Oil2 tbsp
  • Grated Coconut1 cup
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash and soak the grains and dal; grind soft, mix with salt and leave in a warm spot until the batter rises and smells faintly sour.

  2. 2

    Check the batter: bubbles at the surface and a light sour aroma mean it is ready. Add salt if you haven't already.

  3. 3

    Heat a cast-iron tawa or paniyaram pan over medium; a drop of water should dance and vanish.

  4. 4

    Pour, spread with the back of the ladle in ever-widening circles, and trickle oil down the sides.

  5. 5

    Cook till the underside is gold and lacy and the top loses its raw look, then flip or remove; serve immediately — they wait for no one.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
