For your info....
If the mixture becomes too lumpy or you added too much water,
add more rice powder. Also you can blend in a blender
after adding water.
Putttu known for its taste was initially had with
plantains (Bananas) and sugar. Kids enjoy it and another variation for
kids would be to have it with milk. Usually a good spicy and a tangy curry makes
a good combination for spice lovers.
