Transfer this mixture into a mixer /food processor pulse for few seconds.( or we can use our hand to mix well.)
This is done to remove the lumps and to make it soft.

Add 1 or 2 tbsp of grated coconut  into the puttu mould and then wheat mixture until the mould is full.
Steam it for about 5 to 8 minutes.Transfer the cooked puttu to a serving tray.Serve with banana and pappadam or kadala curry.
