**Recipe
For making Shrimp Stuffing
Marinating Shrimp
Shrimp- 15 (if large, half the shrimp)
Chili powder- 1½ tsp
Turmeric powder- ¼ tsp
Coriander powder- 2 tsp
Garam Masala- ¾ sp
Salt- 1 tsp
**Making Shrimp Roast
Coconut Oil- 2 tbsp
Onion, chopped- 4
Ginger- Garlic paste- 1 tbsp
Curry leaves- 1 sprig
Tomatoes, chopped- 2
Black ground pepper- ½ tsp
Salt- 1 tsp
Cilantro, chopped- 2 handfuls
**For making Puttu
Puttu rice flour- 1½ cups (Double horse brand)
Water- 1¼ cups
Salt- ¼ tsp
Grated coconut- ½ cup
**Preparation
Into a bowl, combine shrimp with all the spices for marinating shrimp. Keep aside.
Place a saucepan over medium heat, add oil.
Add chopped onions, season with 1 tsp salt.
Saute for a few minutes.
Add ginger-garlic paste, and curry leaves saute till onions turn golden brown. This will take some time, saute the onions occasionally to prevent sticking to the pan.
Add tomatoes, cook till mashed up.
Add the marinated shrimp.
Cook covered till shrimp has cooked well and water dries off.
Open the lid, saute and cook till the roast turns slightly dry.
Add ground pepper, combine well.
Taste and add more salt if required.
Add chopped cilantro, combine well,
Remove the pan from the heat and keep covered.
The rice flour I used for making puttu is Double Horse brand puttu flour.
This flour is a bit grainy and should be soaked in water for 15 minutes.
Into a bowl, add 1½ cups flour and 1¼ cups water, let soak for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, the flour will absorb all the water.
Using your clean hand, mix the flour well without any lumps, flour will be very soft.
Note If you are using regular rice flour, flour shouldn't be soaked in water. Add water little by little and wet the flour by mixing with your hand till flour is slightly wet.
If you are using any other Puttu flour brand, read the puttu making direction on the back of the packet and follow that.
**Making Shrimp Stuffed Puttu
I've the puttu maker or the mould that can be kept on the whistle hole of a pressure cooker to steam cook.
Into the puttu maker, place the disc that comes with the puttu maker at the bottom.
Spread 1 tbsp grated coconut.
On top of coconut, spread 1 handful puttu flour.
On top of the flour, evenly spread 2 tbsp shrimp roast.
Again, spread flour on top of the shrimp roast.
As the top layer, spread grated coconut.
Do not compress the flour down into the puttu maker. Spread it loosely.
Close the puttu maker with its lid.
Add 2 cups water into a pressure cooker.
Close the cooker with the lid. Lid should have the sealing ring.
Place cooker over medium heat and let steam release from the whistle hole.
When steam releases from the whistle hole, place the puttu maker on it.
Steam cook for 5 minutes till steam releases from the holes on the puttu maker lid.
Remove the puttu maker from the pressure cooker.
Open the lid, on a plate flip over the puttu maker.
Shrimp stuffed puttu will fall nicely on the plate in the shape of a dome.
Enjoy along with pappadam or pickle. Yum!
