The Steamed Beauty

Moist rice flour, 

Mixed with salt, 

Layered within a cylinder, 

With grated coconut breaking the layers, 

Puffing like a steam engine, 

It gets cooked. 

Slender and soft, 

When paired with spicy kadala curry*

Is indeed a bliss to the eyes

And a treat to the tummy. 

Called the puttu with kadala, 

The traditional dish of Kerala.
