Puttu & kadala curry

Name: Puttu & kadala curry
Cuisine: Indian

Also called: Puttu & kadala curry, Путту с кадала-карри, Puttu, Kadala puttu

Vegan

Rice flour and grated coconut steamed in a bamboo or brass tube until it slides out as a warm cylinder, eaten with black chickpeas in a dark coconut gravy. Kerala's breakfast, and the reason a Malayali kitchen owns a puttu kutti.

How it's eaten

Break the cylinder into the curry with your fingers; it is meant to crumble, not to be sliced.

Where to try it

Kochi

Munnar

Kerala's breakfast, and in the hills it is served from six, before the estate shifts start.
