A Taste of Home: Why Puttu is the Heartbeat of Malayali Cuisine
In every Malayali kitchen, from the coasts of Kozhikode to the flats of London, there’s one dish that brings back memories of home – Puttu (പുട്ട്). This humble yet heartwarming steamed rice cake is more than just food – it’s an emotion, a morning ritual, and a comforting tradition passed down generations.
At Spice Supermarket Ltd, we proudly bring you the finest varieties of Special Puttu podi, trusted by thousands of Malayalis across the UK. Because we understand – when it comes to Puttu, quality makes all the difference.
🥥 Why is Puttu So Popular Among Malayalis Worldwide?
✔️ Steamed & Healthy: Made by steaming ground rice and coconut, puttu is oil-free and gluten-free, making it one of the healthiest traditional breakfasts.
✔️ Filling & Nutritious: High in complex carbs and often paired with protein-rich kadala curry or sweet banana, it fuels your day.
✔️ Versatile & Emotional: Whether it’s spicy, sweet, or savory, every Malayali has a “Puttu Story” from childhood – especially with ripe banana mashed into it for a yummy, kid-friendly meal!
