  1. Godda Poot (Sweet Puttu ) – Konkani Khann Anik Jevan avatar

    […]                         Usually  the dish Puttu or poot as we call it in konkani is thought to be a keralite dish !! But our GSB people had long ago adapted & modified it to suit amchi tastes! So that’s how we have Godda poot & thiksani (spicy ) poot ! So lets see how we can make this very tasty amchi dish ! Basically a puttu maker / Puttu Kutti is needed for this – the traditional one with a  bottom vessel to hold water & a long cylinderical top portion in which we fill the poot flour .    Nowadays we also get a – Chiratta puttu maker  which is small & handy & easy to use ! Traditionally to make poot ..rice was soaked for about 2  hours …then water was drained & spread on a cloth to dry ! then it was pounded ( now you can do it in a mixer ).. and then roasted till warm . you have to be careful so that the colour remains white ! But we get rice flour meant specifically for puttu making from stores !so we can use that easily! You can make plain poot  also without jaggery ..we ususally have it with Chonya Dali Humman […]
