Step 1
Mix rice flour, coconut, mashed banana, and 0.5 tsp salt in a bowl until well combined.

Add water a little at a time, stirring until you have a thick, moldable batter.
Step 3
Fill a puttu mold or small round container halfway, press gently, top with more batter, then push out onto a plate.
Step 4
Repeat with remaining batter to make 4 puttu cylinders.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat, add curry leaves, and cook until they darken and crisp, about 90 seconds.
