Ingredients:
- Rice flour or Puttu flour - 1 cup
- Shredded Coconut - 3/4 cup
- Sugar - 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup
- Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
- Cashews and Almonds - 1 tbsp fried in ghee
- Water - up to 1/4 cup

How to make it:
Mix rice flour and sugar together. Add the shredded coconut and cardamom powder. Sprinkle some water and mix it well. Still it should remain a powder. Now using a spoon fill the Puttu maker with the flour. Do not press too much. Let it be little loose so that the steam can pass through. Steam for 5-7 minutes. Let it cool for a while. Take it out slowly. Decorate with cashews and almonds fried in ghee. A nice and easy evening snack.

Due to some personal reasons, i was out of blogging for almost 6 months. See you all soon with more exciting recipes.
Since, Bee and Jai of
Jugalbandi announced this month's theme for Click, the photography event, my mind was constantly thinking of what to click. Pots!.. Pans!... Bake ware!... Spoons?? Mmmm.... Aluminium foil, right! Will that foil work out? Can i click it just like that? Does that make sense? Was thinking for almost a week of what to do with these foils. Today, got this idea of making a rose out of it. Hope its not a bad idea and you all like it! Dedicating this rose to those who love cooking. It signifies Love, Patience, Care and Creativity of all those who make Every meal, a Happy Meal.

All the things captured in my Click are Metals. The stem of the rose is also an aluminium string.

Three things i focused in my click:
- Pen - For making a grocery shopping list
- Watch - For cooking and serving on time
- Foil rose - A creativity out of my choice of metal
This photo below is my entry for the Click: Metal event. Bee and Jai, i am sending it right away to you. Hope you accept this!
