- Add the oats into the bowl along with ½ cup of coconut and mix it, then sprinkle a little water and make a moistened puttu podi, the consistency should be like bread crumbs.
- Boil water in a puttu maker/pressure cooker. (I used coconut shell for making the puttu, you can use your puttu maker)
- First add a little coconut then oats (may have multiple layers), finish with a coconut layer and close it.
- Keep the coconut shell in the stem of the pressure cooker.
- Steam it until the oats is completely cooked. In the coconut shell, it took me about 2 minutes.

- More coconut will make the puttu more taste.
- Making puttu in the coconut shell will give more natural aroma, and will be healthy.
