- Again shift the puttu to the puttu vessel; press well and place it over a plate.
Note:
- Same procedure of cooking for white puttu.
- Elaichi powder and cashewnuts can be added, as per need.

- Instead of ghee, gingely oil / sesame oil can be added, as it is cure for menstrual pains and good for the girls at the time of attaining puberty.
