With the stale food menace plaguing the city, Kerala’s very own ‘puttu’ is finding its way to many hotels, including small restaurants. In the midst of Onam, the ‘puttu’ sales are catching up, with people even opting for the ethnic dish as their evening meal.
“After the reports of stale food being sold in some hotels in the city appeared in the media, people are opting for ‘puttu’ more. If earlier they opted for parotta, now the trend has shifted to ‘puttu’,’’ said Vinod, owner of a hotel in Pipinmoodu.
The demand has also prompted even the wayside vendors who start their business in the evenings to add ‘puttu’ to their menu.
‘’Since many people now ask for ‘puttu’, we are offering it too. It is also easy for us to make and it can go well along with both a vegetarian and non-vegetarian side dish,” said Mohanan, a wayside vendor at Vellayambalam.
One of the joints famous for its ‘chiratta puttu’ at Bakery Junction is also witnessing good rush in the aftermath of the seizure of stale food from many restaurants in the city. “People may be opting for it more maybe because none of the hotels can serve it stale as people won’t go for anything but hot ‘puttu.’ We always had demand for ‘puttu’, but now it has increased,” said a hotel staff.
