Gothambu Puttu Recipe – Wheat Puttu Recipe – Whole Wheat Steamed Cake

Even though I’ve posted lots of puttu recipes, I’ve never posted a gothambu-wheat puttu. My other favorite puttu recipe that I’ve posted with several variations are Kappa Puttu /Taipoca -Yuca Puttu, Erachi Puttu/Meat Puttu which is so delicious, these puttus are another great option for your breakfast or dinner for that matter.

Puttu are one of my DH favorite comfort foods. He is a breakfast person, that too he prefers only traditional mallu breakfast…No cereals, oats, sandwiches..:( Sometimes I hate elaborate cooking in mornings. On such lazy morning, an easy recipe like gothambu puttu, is my life saver 🙂 I found this better and healthy option than the regular Puttu. 

It’s a recipe you won’t want to let go of. Quick, simple,healthy! Does it get much better than that :)? Enjoy!

Gothambu Puttu Recipe – Wheat Puttu Recipe
Preparation Time : 10 mins
Cooking time : 6-8 mins
Serves : 4

Ingredients :

Wheat Flour /Atta : 2 cups 
Grated Coconut :
1 cup 
Water :
3/4 cup or enough to moisten the flour  
Salt to taste : 


How to make Gothumbu Puttu – Wheat Puttu :

1. Dry roast wheat flour over medium heat, stirring continuously. After about 5 minutes remove from the stove, and let it cool.
2. Add salt to 1 cup of water and wet the gothumbu puttu podi/powder, a little at a time, and mix well till you reach breadcrumbs consistency. (Note : The wheat flour mixture should be wet but not lumpy. The right consistency is reached when you press little flour in your fist and it forms a shape and not crumble off.)
3. Now pulse it couple of times in a mixer or in food processor.This will remove the lumps and you get very soft puttu.
4. Optional – Add little scrapped coconut into the mixture and mix well.
5. Now fill your pressure cooker or puttu kudam with water till two thirds full. Place on the stove. Take the cylindrical tube part or chiratta puttu kutti, insert the flat disk with holes at the bottom of the tube.
6. Fill half of the tube with a fistful full of grated coconut and then add the prepared wheat flour till half and fill the rest of the tube with more prepared wheat mixture and sprinkle grated coconut on the top. (Note: The wheat flour must be loosely filled and not packed.)
7. Cover the cylinder tube or chiratta puttu kutti and place on the cooker spout or on puttu kudam once the steam starts coming out.
8. Steam for 6-8 minutes; when the puttu is cooked, steam will start coming through the holes on the lid. Remove the tube from the pot and open the lid. Using the handle of a large spoon, slowly push the puttu, and slide it onto a plate.
9. Serve hot with Kadalakari /Kerala Style Black Chickpea Curry or Kerala Meen Curry, Pappadam and yellow small bananas and Enjoy!

    Hi Mithun, I'm really sorry for the late reply. I was away from active blogging hence delay in reply. Sorry to hear that it didn't turn out well. Did you try this recipe? It usually takes 6-8 mins for me to cook, I'm not sure why it didn't cook. Did you try pulse the mixture couple of times in mixer? If not May be you can try that. Again, I dont know why it didn't cook. I dont have any exact reason for why it happened 🙁 I wish I could help you…I'm so sorry!

    Thanks!
