Steam foods are very good for health. Most of the steam foods are made without oil and that says why it’s so healthy. In this recipe, I have used the red rice which is enriched with the goodness of antioxidants and magnesium. I would recommend cooking this recipe at least in a week for a healthy lifestyle. Chemba Puttu /Red Rice Puttu is ideal for breakfast.
