My Notes:

• Amma suggested to roast the powder for a while then add water and cook it so nowadays I am doing that.
• As we are making powder using raw banana, cook in sim for more time to avoid stomach upset.
• For sweetner, you can either add palm sugar or jaggery syrup too.
• You can even add karupatti(Palm Jaggery) syrup.
• You can even add a drop of ghee which is optional.
