Ragi Puttu recipe

Ragi Puttu with Maple syrup is yet another fusion recipe, which I tried. The result was really astonishing, as the puttu was soft and fluffier than the normal. Maple syrup is a natural sugar and could be a better option of refined sugar.

Ragi Puttu with Maple Syrup - Steamed Finger Millet

When you in Rome, do what Roman's do . For me I understood this saying as, eat locally available ingredients by infusing the local ingredients in our regular food.

These Fusion food are always welcomed around the world and could be a all time great hit. In this recipe, I did not changed much, but inspite of adding jaggery or refined sugar, I haved added maple syrup.

This cut down the process of making jeggry syrup. Infusing maple syrup into our regular raagi puttu, provided fluffier and soft texture.

Nowadays, we are leaning towards healthy food. That's the reason you do not see much of dessert dishes or oil oozing out gravies. Before, Raagi is a least preferred ingredient for its color and it is hard texture.

After trying this recipe, my total vision towards raagi has collapsed. Nowadays, this recipe is getting repeated very often. Hope this maple syrup puttu becomes your favorite as well.

Like my earlier fusion recipes, Broccoli Rabe Kootu and Butternut Squash Kootu, this recipe was also a super hit successful recipe.

Serving Suggestions:
1. Maple syrup Ragi Puttu is the Sweeter version, serving with banana would be the great combination.
2. Increase or decrease the amount of grated coconut.

Tips and Variations Ragi Puttu:
1. Making perfect  soft puttu depends on, the moisture level of the uncooked flour. It has to be neither sticky nor dry.
2. Stick to the tests for getting perfect fluffier puttu every time you make.

Tips For Cooking in Non-Indian Kitchen:
1. Use any steamer instead of puttu maker.
2. Grated coconut adds texture and taste to the recipe, I would recommend not to skip it from the list.
