For Puttu:

Method :

Mix together salt and rqd amount of water. Sprinkle this water slowly over the rice flour and mix well. Continue this till the flour turns soft and smooth. Do not use too much water. (The perfect stage to stop the process is to take a handful of wet flour in the hand, just press it and open the fist. If the flour remains as a solid chunk without breaking or splitting apart, you can stop the process). Add little grated coconut into the flour and mix well. (To make soft puttu, just grind the flour in a mixer).
