      Title: PITTU
 Categories: Main dish
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
    250 g  Rice flour
    250 g  Coconut
    1/2 ts Salt
     75 ml Hot water
    180 ml Thick coconut milk
 
  Roast and sieve the flour well. Grate  the coconut. Place the flour
  in a bowl and add the salt.  Slowly pour in the hot water, mixing
  with your fingers as you do so until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add
  the grated coconut and mix well in. Place the mixture in the pittu
  mould and place over a pan of boiling water until steam emerges from
  the top of the pittu mould. Cover with  half a  coconut  shell  and
  steam for a further 5 minutes or until done.
  
  Note:  If a pittu mould is not available, mould dough into loaf
  shape, wrap in muslin and steam   for about 15 minutes. From "A taste
  of Sri Lanka" by Indra Jayasekera, ISBN #962 224 010 0
