Notes

  • Use a big kadai to roast else roast in batches.
  • You can even grind it batches. Scrap and grind to get fine powder.
  • If you find it very coarse grind for some more time.
  • Always use fine sieve.
  • Use clean dry ladle while scooping to extend shelf life.
  • It keeps well in fridge for about 1 year.
  • Dry roast only in low flame, even if it gets burnt it will not be shown because of the color so be very careful while roasting.
