This has been a breakfast delicacy of Kerala for so many centuries and is still devoured by many with so much greed. Puttu, when made in a round mold, reminds me of snowballs and I call it &#8220;edible snowballs&#8221;. I&#8217;d already posted the recipe for making puttu. Puttu is nothing but steamed rice flour, rice flour is made wet by sprinkling water to it and is added to the mold alternated with grated coconut and is steam cooked. Puttu can be served with literally any kind of curries: chicken, mutton, fish, chickpeas curry or kadala curry, veggie curry, etc. However, one of the popular ways of serving puttu in Kerala is with payar or mung bean and pappadam or wafers. I am a huge fan of mung bean and so this payar or mung bean stir fry is one of my favorites. Pappadam which is lentil-based wafers is commonly served as a side with many dishes in Kerala, it&#8217;s fried in oil and the crispy pappadams are enjoyed by both kids and adults.<\/p>\n<p>This morning when I was thinking of some breakfast ideas I was reminded of this breakfast delicacy. It&#8217;s been so many years since I had made this and that encouraged me to make this in my kitchen. Since the clocks sprung forward today, by the time I made all these it was almost past breakfast and hence I served this for brunch, my husband and I enjoyed this so much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/puttu-or-edible-snow-balls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> puttu recipe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Mung-bean-coconut-stir-fry-kerala-style.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Mung-bean-coconut-stir-fry-kerala-style.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Mung-bean-coconut-stir-fry-kerala-style-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Mung-bean-coconut-stir-fry-kerala-style-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/puttum-payarum-pappadam.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Payar Thoran or Mung Bean-Coconut Stir fry<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Side<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT35M\">35 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT40M\">40 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mung bean- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 2 cups, to cook mung bean<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut Oil- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mustard seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole dried red chilies- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 1 sprig<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Onion, chopped small- 1, large<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garlic, chopped- 2 cloves<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chili powder- 1\/2 to 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Grated coconut- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 3\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a pressure cooker, cook the mung bean along with water and salt till 2 to 3 whistles.
