Puttu is served hot with sweet side dishes such as palm sugar or banana, or with curries such as dal, chickpea, mutton, fish or chicken. In Bhatkal, puttu is served with side dishes such as ghee and sugar or Paya. Puttu was first mentioned in the book titled Thirupugazhu, written in the 15th century, by the renowned Tamil poet Arunagirinathan.
