Plantain Puttu / Ethapazham Puttu

Different types of Puttu can be prepared depends on the stuffing or flour used for it. It can be veg as well as non veg. I have shared some different stuffing before. This is prepared with ripe plantain. Here I’m making chirattaputtu and it can be attached in a pressure  cooker. If you have regular puttu maker, you can use it instead of pressure cooker.
