Notes

  • Make sure you cool down completely after roasting else it will form lumps while grinding.
  • You can grind it to a very fine powder or mild corase like what I've done.
  • Amma says slightly coarse gives a nice flavour than the very fine one.
  • I've given the cup measures as I dont have a proper gadget to measure in grams.
  • For the above measurement, it yields 1 cup which is 250 ml
