Puttu and karamani curry

I am wishing all the Indians, a very happy republic day 2012!…I am glad to post the tri flavored puttu and Karamani curry…Both are my family’s fav dish….

For Green,Grained a cup of  Mint and Green Chillies..

Its a must-try variation of puttu…

For Yellow Color, I used Corn Puttu Podi

The green puttu tasted the best out of the rest.

Mix a cup of puttu maavu with half cup of water and Salt..

Set aside for 15 minutes

Add the mint water to the puttu maavu with salt...Set aside

Layer the maavu and grated coconut in Puttu steamer…and Steam it for 10-15 minutes…
