How many likes for this traditional authentic combo,friends?? Though its cooked in every malayali's home once a week atleast but I somehow missed posting this recipe for so long.'Better late than never' stands true here too.This traditional combo of puttu (steamed rice with coconut)and kadala curry(black chick peas curry)is a popular one of our Kerala menu.My family likes this combo very much and its part of our weekly menu too.I love the matta(chemba) rice flour puttu than white rice flour puttu (tastes better).I had already posted the recipe of puttu long back with fish molly which also is a preferred combo.Try making this authentic combo and enjoy !!!!
