To begin making Whole Wheat Flour Puttu Recipe, dry roast atta on low flame until the flour releases a pleasant aroma. Take off the heat before the flour starts browning.

Drain all the water from steamed rice and grind it in a mixer grinder into a crumby mixture. Then add roasted whole wheat flour and pulse for less than half a minute. Do not over blend it. The end result of this grinding should be a crumbly well-mixed mixture of soaked rice and whole wheat flour.

Put the crumbly flour to a wide mixing bowl. Add little salt, sugar, and a tablespoon of grated coconut to the flour mix.

Boil enough water in a pressure cooker (without the weight). In a puttu maker, add a thin layer of freshly grated coconut, top it with wheat-rice flour mix. If you are using the long cylindrical puttu maker, add 2 to 3 layers of grated coconut and flour mix. Cover the puttu maker with lid.

Place the puttu maker on top of the cooker (sits on the hole where you put the weight). Steam for about 5 to 10 minutes until cooked. Once cooked, carefully slide Whole Wheat Flour Puttu from the puttu maker and serve hot.

Serve Whole Wheat Flour Puttu with Kerala Kadala Curry Recipe (Spicy Chickpeas in Coconut Curry) or bananas and a dollop of ghee for a yummy breakfast.
