Masala

Heat oil in a pan. Add in the onions ,ginger,garlic and green chillies and saute up well. Now add in the masalas and the prawns and fry them untill it gets cooked up.Finally add in the curry leaves .Get this masala to a dry form.

Puttu

Take the rice flour and add in some salt and water and mix well,it should not be in a dough form,it should be in a form that when you close it in your fists it should hold together.

Now take the vessel for making the puttu and layer it with prawn mixture and above it the rice flour and repeat it again untill the vessel is being filled up. Now steam this up for about 10mins and push it out to  a plate without breaking it. We can see the puttu in a layered form.
