Eastern Puttu Podi is a traditional South Indian and Kerala-style roasted flour mix specially prepared for making puttu, a popular steamed breakfast dish known for its soft, crumbly texture and delicate roasted flavour.
Puttu is traditionally made by combining puttu podi with water to create a moist, crumbly mixture, which is then layered with grated coconut and steamed to perfection. Eastern Puttu Podi makes preparing this classic dish convenient and helps you recreate the authentic taste and texture of traditional Kerala-style puttu at home.
The flour has a naturally pleasant roasted aroma and is designed to absorb moisture while maintaining the characteristic coarse, fluffy texture required for good puttu. It can be enjoyed as a wholesome breakfast, snack, or light meal and is especially delicious when served with traditional accompaniments.

Place the required amount of Eastern Puttu Podi in a bowl and gradually sprinkle with water while mixing gently. The mixture should become moist and crumbly without turning into a smooth dough. Allow it to rest briefly so the flour can absorb the moisture.
Layer the prepared flour mixture with freshly grated coconut in a puttu maker and steam until fully cooked. Serve hot for the best taste and texture.
Puttu is traditionally enjoyed with a variety of accompaniments. Serve it with chickpea curry (kadala curry), vegetable curry, coconut-based curries, or other savoury dishes. For a sweeter option, enjoy it with ripe banana, grated coconut, sugar, or jaggery.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the package tightly sealed after opening to maintain freshness and quality.

Traditional Kerala-style Chemba Puttu Podi
Made from chemba rice
Naturally distinctive reddish-brown colour
Pleasant roasted aroma and traditional flavour
Ideal for preparing authentic steamed puttu
Convenient and easy to prepare
Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light traditional meal
Delicious with both sweet and savoury accompaniments
Place the required amount of Eastern Chemba Puttu Podi in a bowl. Gradually sprinkle water over the flour while mixing gently until the mixture becomes moist and crumbly. Avoid adding too much water, as the mixture should retain a loose, grainy texture rather than becoming a dough.
Allow the mixture to rest for a few minutes so that the flour can absorb the moisture. Fill a puttu maker by alternating layers of the prepared flour mixture with grated coconut. Steam until the puttu is thoroughly cooked and has a soft, fluffy texture.
Serve Chemba Puttu hot with traditional accompaniments such as kadala curry (black chickpea curry), vegetable curry, coconut-based curries, or other savoury dishes.
For a sweet and simple variation, serve it with ripe banana, grated coconut, sugar, or jaggery. The naturally earthy character of chemba rice makes it a versatile choice for both traditional sweet and savoury combinations.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. After opening, keep the package tightly sealed to preserve the freshness, aroma, and quality of the flour.
