Rava/Sooji Puttu

It is a delicious and tasty snack for everyone. I hope the kids love this dish very much. This can be prepared instantly. This gives different taste. I have used only few ingredients to prepare this sweet. You can use puttu maker or idli cooker for preparing this dish.

Normally puttu is used to prepare with rice flour. But you give a trial with rava. I have already posted wheat puttu. I will post ragi and rice flavored puttu recipes later in my blog.
