Chembha kuzha puttu with kadala curry

Soon after our marriage, my hubby was asking me to try puttu, as it was his favourite. But as far i know, preparing puttu was a lengthy process of washing the rice, draining them and powdering them and steaming. when i told all this process to my hubby, he was the one gave an intro about puttu maker and puttu podi, soon i got convinced and gave it a try. It still remains to be our favourite brunch on week-end's.
