Chef's Notes
Do not rush the hydration process! If you dump all the water in at once, you will end up with a sticky porridge instead of a majestic, crumbly cylinder of joy.
Pro Tip
Run your fingers through the flour mixture like you are playing a harp. It aerates the grains and ensures uniform moisture distribution.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to check the water level in the bottom pot will lead to a bone-dry base, a ruined metal pot, and smoke billowing from your kitchen like a distress signal.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the court jester if the puttu was dry, and he replied, 'It's like my humor, milord—only for the refined palate that enjoys a challenge!'
The Culinary Science
Steam cooks puttu rapidly because latent heat released during water condensation transfers thermal energy directly into the starch grains, gelatinizing them quickly.
