Puttu is Kerala’s specialty. On one of my trips to Wayanad in Kerala, I tried both Spicy Puttu and Jaggery Puttu. Loved both and tried both at home. Today I’m sharing a simple and easy recipe of Jaggery Puttu which can make a great snack option for toddlers and kids. This can also be packed as their lunch/snack box as it tastes better even when it’s not hot.
