Red Rice Puttu Recipe | Sigappu Arisi Puttu Recipe

I like puttu very much. My mom makes it often. She alternatively makes Red Rice and White Rice Puttu. I love the taste of Red Rice Puttu more. The main reason is, it will not be dry. I used Nirapara (store-bought) puttu podi to make this puttu. That puttu maavu is in correct consistency. (grainy)

I don't have puttu maker and so used idli plate and steamer. If you have puttu maker, use that. You can refer how to cook red rice ? Recipe Here.

This Red Rice Puttu is diet friendly. It is a good indian diet recipe for breakfast. You can have side dishes like kadala curry or simply banana as side dish.
