The Tale Behind Tradition & Evolution of Puttu

Our belief

Kerala’s most humble breakfast. Every plate is the steamed classic, taken somewhere it has never been.

01The craft

Four steps, and no shortcuts

  1. 01 / 04

    The grain

    Rice, chemba, wheat, raagi, cholam or millet, coarsely ground and moistened by hand until it just holds together, dry enough to stay light, damp enough to steam through.

  2. 02 / 04

    The layering

    Packed into the puttu kutti in alternating bands: a handful of grain, a scattering of fresh coconut, and again, until the column is full.

  3. 03 / 04

    The steam

    Set over boiling water and left alone. The steam does every bit of the cooking, which is why puttu has never needed a drop of oil to be good.

  4. 04 / 04

    The table

    Turned out in one piece and eaten hot, with kadala curry, with a ripe banana, or with whatever the day happens to call for.

02The heritage grains

Six grains, one steam

Rice, chemba, wheat, raagi, cholam and millet have fed Kerala for generations. Hover, or tap, to meet each one.
