Pittu is a traditional south indian sweet which is prepared in Andhra. This is all time favorite of mine.
When we were kids my mom used to make this dish quiet regularly as it is very healthy.

This is prepared by using raw rice rava, jaggery, salt and ghee which is cooked on Steam. Raw Rice Rava can be made in home by taking raw rice grind it coarsely and then sieve it, to filter out Rava. This recipe is simple, preparation takes time but tastes very delicious and yummy !!
