Traditionally, puttu is made with wetted rice flour, but these days I&#8217;m seeing puttu being made with other ingredients like oats, semolina, wheat flour, ragi or millet flour, brown rice flour etc etc.<\/p>\n<p>The other day, I tried making puttu with semolina and I layered it with chicken masala and it tasted delicious. If using semolina, the puttu has to be served right away when it&#8217;s still warm else semolina will turn dry when it has cooled down. So, enjoy this chicken stuffed semolina puttu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19053\"
