Diamond Puttu Maker (Pressure Cooker Top) – Stainless Steel

Introduction

The Diamond Puttu Maker (Pressure Cooker Top) is an essential kitchen tool designed for making puttu, a popular South Indian and Sri Lankan steamed rice cake. Made from high-quality stainless steel, this puttu maker is durable, easy to use, and highly efficient in steaming puttu to perfection. Its design allows it to be placed on top of a standard pressure cooker, utilizing the steam generated to cook the puttu evenly. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook, this puttu maker ensures a hassle-free cooking experience while preserving the authentic taste of traditional puttu.

Material and Design

The Diamond Puttu Maker is constructed from food-grade stainless steel, ensuring durability, rust resistance, and safety for daily use. Stainless steel is a preferred material in cookware due to its non-reactive nature, which means it does not alter the taste or quality of the food being cooked.

This puttu maker has a cylindrical shape, which helps in maintaining the traditional puttu structure. It comes with a perforated disc at the bottom to allow steam to pass through, ensuring even cooking. Additionally, it includes a lid with vent holes to regulate the steam flow, preventing excess moisture buildup and ensuring that the puttu comes out soft and fluffy.

Compatibility with Pressure Cooker

One of the key advantages of this puttu maker is its compatibility with most standard pressure cookers. The bottom attachment is designed to fit securely onto the steam vent of a pressure cooker, allowing direct steam flow into the puttu chamber. This eliminates the need for a separate puttu steamer, making it a space-saving and cost-effective option.

Using a pressure cooker as the steam source reduces cooking time, ensuring that puttu is ready within minutes. The efficient steam distribution prevents uneven cooking, resulting in a consistent texture throughout the puttu.

Ease of Use

The Diamond Puttu Maker is incredibly easy to use, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced cooks. Here’s how simple it is to make puttu with this tool:

1. Prepare the Puttu Mixture

Take rice flour and mix it with the required amount of water and salt to create a coarse, moist mixture.

Let the mixture rest for a few minutes for even hydration.

2. Assemble the Puttu Maker

Place the perforated disc at the bottom of the puttu chamber.

Layer the mixture inside the cylinder, optionally alternating with grated coconut for added flavor.

Cover the top with the provided lid.

3. Attach to the Pressure Cooker

Fill the pressure cooker with the required amount of water and bring it to a boil.

Remove the pressure regulator and securely place the puttu maker on the steam vent.

4. Steam and Serve

Allow the puttu to steam for about 5–7 minutes, until fully cooked.

Carefully remove the puttu maker from the cooker, use a stick or spoon to push out the puttu, and serve hot with bananas, curries, or coconut chutney.
