Steamed Carrot Cake
(Carrot Puttu)
Carrot is a vegetable used by people all over the world. It’s known for the high amount of carotenes found in it. We all know that carrot is very good for our health. I like eating raw carrots, the sweeter version. This is different from the normal carrot preparations; and this can be a low cal high fiber healthy dinner.
Recipe (2 servings): Carrots grated-1cup, Rice flour-1cup, grated coconut- 2 tsp, salt to taste.
Method: Mix the grated carrot, rice flour and salt together; make a thin layer of grated coconut at the bottom of your steaming dish using 1tsp grated coconut, then put the carrot rice mixture and top it with the rest of the grated coconut, and steam cook for 10minutes. [If you have the puttu making dish, you can make it just like normal puttu]. Serve hot.

  1. This was tried out by an AVian who entered the kitchen voluntarily, in spite of his wife's continued resistance to do so , 'cos of her unfounded belief that he uses too much oil, cream etc. on whatever he makes!!!

    Oops! Was that me??!!!
