🧂 Ingredients

1 Mix the salt with the flour. Sprinkle some water and mix lightly with the
fingers to form a slightly damp and powdery mixture, but not lumpy.
2 In a pootu maker, put a layer of coconut and then the rice powder. Do this
alternately with coconut on the top layer.
3 Attach the pootu maker with its perforated lid to a pressure cooker (without the
whistle) half filled with boiling water; increase heat so that the steam rushes
through the pootu maker and comes out of the perforated lid, cooking the pootu
in the process.
4 Open the lid and push the pootu out with a rod onto a plate.
5 Repeat the process with the rest of the rice powder.
