Making puttu is really easy: wet the rice flour and add to the puttu maker along with grated coconut and is steamed for a few minutes. It can be served with literally anything: my absolute favorites are puttu with chicken curry or fish curry. Usually the curry is poured over the cooked puttu and eaten.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of stuffing puttu with chicken, beef or fish is nit that new. There are so many variations: you could stuff with chicken roast, beef roast, fish roast, shrimp roast or even veggie roast. I&#8217;d tried <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/tuna-stuffed-mani-puttu-or-noodles-puttu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tuna stuffed maniputtu or noodles puttu<\/a>. So, this time I made mussel and squid peera or roast and stuffed that into the puttu layers.<\/p>\n<p>It was incredibly delicious!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16383\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mussel-puttu.jpg\" alt=\"mussel puttu\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mussel-puttu.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mussel-puttu-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mussel-puttu-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Prepared Mussel and Squid Peera<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16386\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mussel-and-squid-peera.jpg\" alt=\"mussel and squid peera\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mussel-and-squid-peera.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mussel-and-squid-peera-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mussel-and-squid-peera-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rice flour at the bottom and peera over it<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16385\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/making-meen-puttu1.jpg\" alt=\"making-meen puttu\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/making-meen-puttu1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/making-meen-puttu1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/making-meen-puttu1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16384\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/making-meen-puttu.jpg\" alt=\"making meen puttu\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/making-meen-puttu.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/making-meen-puttu-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/making-meen-puttu-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Mussel-squid-puttu.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Mussel and Squid Peera Puttu &#8211;
