Kappa Puttu With Chicken / Tapioca Steamcake with Chicken

Puttu is Keralas traditional breakfast and it is healthy as rice flour is steamed. Here I tried Kappa Puttu with chicken, its deferent from normal puttu as we use less rice flour and more kappa in this recipe and it stuffed with chicken. So its delicious, flavourful and variety puttu.  You can make this for dinner or as an evening snack. Here is recipe for you all to try.
