hi #hive and my dear friend let me introduce my one of tradition food item that used as breakfast*** puttu and kadala curyy ***the word puttu
Puttu means "portioned" in Malayalam. It is made of steamed cylinders of ground rice layered with coconut shavings, sometimes with a savory filling on the inside. Puttu is served hot with side dishes such as palm sugar or banana, or with curries such as mutton, fish or chicken.the invension of puttu was done in the book titled Thirupugazhu, written in the 15th century, by the renowned Tamil poet Arunagirinathan. Many historians have observed that the Malayalam language had developed in the 8th century. Puttu or steamed rice cake is a typical Kerala dish, often served across south India and Sri Lanka
