Dry roast the health mix flour for 5 mins in low flame.

Make sure to roast at only in low flame to avoid flour getting burnt.

Cool down the flour completely, then transfer to a bowl.

Add salt to it. Mix it well first.

Then sprinkle the water little by little and keep mixing.

When you take and hold the flour tight it should form shape. And when you crumble, it should fall apart easily, that’s the perfect consistency for soft puttu flour.

It should be sandy in texture.

You can even add a tablespoon of coconut in this mixture too.

Add water to a pressure cooker. Cover the cooker with lid without the whistle.

Meanwhile grease the puttu maker with ghee, add 1tsp grated coconut and three tsp of puttu flour in alternative layers till the rim of the puttu maker.

Pat it well, press it slightly to have an even top.

Gently open and invert on a plate to demould.
