Millet Vennai Puttu / Multi-grain Health mix Pudding

Vennai Puttu is one of the delicious and traditional breakfast sweet dish that my Grandmother used to make. It is usually made with rice flour and coconut milk. In this recipe, I substituted rice flour with store bought millet flour / multi-grain health mix flour to make it more healthy.

1. In a pan, melt jaggery with little water and boil it. When it comes to a boil, turn off the stove and let the jaggery syrup cool. Filter it and keep aside.

3. Reduce the flame to simmer, add the filtered jaggery syrup and the 1st coconut milk extract.

7. After it cools, cut into squares and serve.

Notes:

• The millet flour which I used to prepare this vennai puttu had cardamom in it, so I didn't add extra cardamom.
