The Tale Behind Tradition & Evolution of Puttu
Kerala’s most humble breakfast. Every plate is the steamed classic, taken somewhere it has never been.
Four steps, and no shortcuts
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.
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.
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.
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.
Not your everyday puttu
The steamed classic, taken places it has never been.

dessert, but make it puttu

Marble Puttu
two batters, one swirl

“Tradition is the recipe. Imagination is the seasoning.”
Six grains, one steam
Rice, chemba, wheat, raagi, cholam and millet have fed Kerala for generations. Hover, or tap, to meet each one.

“Had lunch at Dhee Puttu, and the experience was absolutely amazing! I ordered the Ezhu Sundara Rathrikal, and it was outstanding. The meat and seafood were so flavourful and delicious, with a comforting, homely taste that made the dish even more special. Their main menu r all names after Dileep ettan's name meshamadavan Punjabi house ......... I also ordered Porotta with beef, and the beef was incredibly tender, juicy, and delicious. Every bite was a treat! And their dessert is also so good . If you love flavourful food that feels like home, this place is definitely worth visiting. Loved the food and the overall experience. Definitely a 10/10! Highly recommended. ❤️”
“We ordered Erachi Puttu, Beef Roast, Malabar Porotta, and Fish Mango Curry — everything was delicious and had that authentic Kerala taste. The Erachi Puttu and Beef Roast were especially tasty, and the Malabar Porotta went perfectly with the curry. 😋 And the best surprise was getting to see actor Dileep there! 😍 It made the dining experience even more special. Overall, a great place for authentic Kerala food and a memorable experience. Definitely enjoyed our visit! ❤️”
“Absolutely loved the food here! 😍 The rice puttu and ragi puttu were soft, fresh, and delicious. The naadan chicken curry was packed with authentic flavours, and the kadala curry was equally amazing. Everything tasted homely and had that wonderful traditional Kerala touch. A must-try for anyone who loves authentic Kerala cuisine. Definitely coming back for more! ❤️”
“It's destiny i must say that landed me and my friend here this evening. Great food, positive vibes, and a humble Mrs and Mr.Dileep, who were so down to earth and made us feel we were at God's own country. The cuisine was gratefully made and an absolute feast to your taste buds. Give it a try when they are open for business from October 1st.. Dhe Puttu..”
“Every single dish we ordered was absolutely delicious - we ordered Splendour Puttu Thaali (10/10), Non-Veg Chatti Choru (11/10), Beef Coconut Fry (10/10), and Eripori Chicken (10/10). Non-Veg Chatti Choru was just too good - it came with so many dishes and sides that I can’t even pick a favourite. Splendour Puttu Thaali is also a wonderful option for anyone looking for a filling lunch without rice. The puttu was incredibly soft and practically melted in your mouth. Beef Coconut Fry and Eripori Chicken are good starter options too. We also had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Kavya Madhavan, which made our visit even more special! Overall, a wonderful dining experience with amazing food and lovely hospitality. My family and I enjoyed everything, and this is definitely a place worth visiting ❤️ We visited for lunch around 12:30 PM - it seems to be very busy around this time so plan your visit accordingly 😁 Valet parking is also available :)”
“It is because of the ownership of Dileep I decided to visit the place. Well, I should say that the place is well set with a good ambience and very unique types of Puttu. A nice place to be with your family and friends. The price tags are also very affordable.”
