Pittu is a popular dish among Sri Lankans and South Indians. Simple ingredients are steamed in a cylindrical bamboo or metal tube.
Roasted plain flour pittu is our all time favourite and it can be a main dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It can also be made with steamed plain flour, rice flour, whole meal flour or Millet flour.
The flour along with the grated coconut is an amazing combination which gives a delectable taste.
