Sweet Puttu

Day 3 and a friday. It calls for a Puttu neivedhyam.

Ingredients
Rice Flour - 1 cup
Salt - a pinch
Turmeric Powder - a pinch
Jaggery - 1 cup
Cardamom Powder - 1 tsp
Coconut - 2 tbsp

Method
Dry roast rice flour till reddish in color. Add salt and turmeric powder and mix well.

Steam cook the rice flour using an idly pan.
Heat very little water and add jaggery. Allow to thicken. It should be thicker than a one string consistency.
